Eye Watering Salaries

Yeah that’s an odd one. Depends when they were asked I suppose. The media goes fishing for this stuff on a regular basis and publishes stories like this to fill space or when they want to start the outrage bus. Most, if not all, senior public sector salaries are already in the public domain. A quick google search reveals that the chief executive of Swansea council earned £154,962 in 21/22. Not sure why the journalist who wrote the article in the OP couldn’t have done that.

I thought they could get that info through FOI, which has to be supplied within a certain time scale.

They can. It’s mostly published anyway for the public sector in annual reports etc.

I'd like to see the salary of the bloke who does the 'artists impression' drawings for proposed schemes in the city. He must earn a fortune the amount he churns out, but i hope he is paid per drawing and not per scheme that actually happens, or else he'd be owning them money :lol:

His counterpart in Cardiff must be earning a bloody fortune. We're not bitter in anyway mind.
