Re. your article (Council keeps quiet over high earner pay), for these officers to refuse to divulge their full salaries this year will cause the residents of the borough to rightly view this stance with the greatest suspicion.
By hiding behind the Fredom of Information Act they are indicating that they have hiked their salaries to a level which they know would be unacceptable to the residents of the borough.
We are appalled that as public servants these six senior officers are able to award themselves salary increases from public money and then refuse to advise us of the final details.
Will the proposed 400 staff redundancies over the next four years result in the reduction of council services or is it indicative of over staffing and empire building in previous years?
