The West of England metro mayor is set to receive a £20,000 pay hike over four years – about 30 per cent – to exceed the salary of an MP.
An independent remuneration panel is recommending a £5,000 rise every year for the next four years, on top of usual annual salary awards.
Backdated to last May when Labour’s Dan Norris was elected into office as head of the West of England Combined Authority (Weca), it takes his income from £67,000 to £87,000 by 2024/25, which is also higher than Bristol city mayor’s wage.
