A call was made for the Mayor of Liverpool and her cabinet to have their pay decreased over performance.
Steve Radford, leader of the Liberal Party group at the Town Hall, and members of the newly-formed Liverpool Community Independents group have questioned the value of the allowances being spent on paying Liverpool Council’s executive team in the midst of its energy contract debacle.
Cllr Radford, who represents Tuebrook and Stoneycroft ward, is aiming to put forward a motion calling on cross-chamber support for a 20% in the fees paid towards Mayor Joanne Anderson and her seven-strong cabinet. Currently, Mayor Anderson receives an annual stipend of £83,539, “which is designed to cover the activities and duties – together with any incidental cost for which no other provision is made – in respect of the discharge of the office of Elected Mayor.”
