The former CEO of Northumberland County Council claimed £40,000 in expenses in a single year - more than any other council officer in the country over the same period.
Think Tank the Taxpayer's Alliance has released its annual Town Hall Rich list, detailing the amount paid out by local authorities to officers.
The figures, which relate to the 2021/22 financial year, showed that former Northumberland County Council CEO and head of paid service Daljit Lally received the highest expenses claim of any officer in the UK.
