The leader of Northumberland County Council has reiterated his promise to slash the authority’s wage bill by £1 million despite a long-awaited review into senior management structure at the council failing to deliver significant savings.
Coun Glen Sanderson made the pledge earlier this year after it was revealed that the council was paying huge sums to a large number of top officers.
Figures obtained by the Taxpayer’s Alliance showed that twenty employees were receiving more than £100,000 a year – the highest of any council in the North East.
