£173,000 - salary for new council chief exec

Exclusive by Ben Turner
4/ 6/2008

THE NEW boss of Cheshire East Council will take home a salary of £173,000 – not much less than Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s own pay packet.

The salary for the top job in the fledgling authority – advertised during an economic downturn – has sparked widespread criticism, with many Maxonians claiming it is too much to pay one person from the public purse.

And the wage – paid for out of council tax receipts – will have Gordon Brown looking over his shoulder, as he earns £189,000 - just £16,000 more.

   173K is fine - only a couple of days parking fines should cover it.
