The leader of Northumberland County Council has told the public to "wait and see" if his promise to slash £1m from the authority's wage bill comes to fruition.
Coun Glen Sanderson made the pledge back in April, after figures obtained by the Taxpayer's Alliance showed the council was paying 20 high-up employees more than £100,000 a year - the highest of any council in the North East.
The Conservative leader reiterated his commitment to the cut in September, despite the fact that a long-awaited review into senior management structure at the council failed to deliver significant savings.
