Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram is in line for a pay rise to reflect his “high profile and impactful role” in the Liverpool City Region (LCR).
LCR’s Combined Authority (CA) will sign off on proposals to give Mr Rotheram an uplift in pay to cover the next two years in line with the National Joint Council (NJC) agreement for local government workers. Should CA members agree to the proposals, the allowance of the Metro Mayor will be set at an incremental rate in line with the yearly NJC increases up to £95,000.
The ECHO understands that Mr Rotheram’s annual settlement is not expected to increase anywhere near the top end of the bracket between now and 2024 when it will be considered again. Mayor Rotheram’s current salary stands at £81,000, up from £77,500 five years ago.
