The number of highly-paid council officers in Northumberland has fallen significantly after a wide-ranging review, according to leading councillors.
Northumberland County Council has been criticised in recent years for the number of highly paid interims in senior positions receiving a salary of more than £100,000 a year.
Figures recently released by think-tank and lobby group the Taxpayer's Alliance revealed that 23 employees were on remuneration of more than £100,000 in the 2021/22 year - the second year in a row the council had the most employees receiving that figure in the North East.
