Eight Nottingham City Council employees were paid over £100,000 during the last financial year. The highest amount went to chief executive Mel Barrett, who was paid £182,510.
The TaxPayers' Alliance recently published its annual 'town hall rich list', detailing all of the council employees across the country who were paid over £100,000. The figures relate to the last full financial year for which accounts have been filed, which runs from April 2021 to April 2022.
The report from the Alliance, a group which campaigns against increased taxation, said the authority with the most employees earning over £100,000 was Nottinghamshire County Council. Eight of its officials earned more than that amount, when taking pensions and expenses into account.
