Shocking Increase in Highly Paid Employees at Borough of Poole



Message

Hi Fire

The Borough’s accounts for 2010/11 – note 14 page 31 – detail the almost unbelievable rise in number of employees earning over £50,000 per annum from 121 in 09/10 to 160 in 10/11
I say “at a time of austerity, when the Council has been cutting eligibility criteria for social services assistance, hiking day care charges, massively increasing car park income and beach hut rents it is almost beyond belief that there could have been such an increase in the numbers of highly paid employees. Incredibly this has occurred in a year when all salaries at the Council were frozen. I cannot even begin to understand how this could have happened and how this could possibly be justifiedâ€ 
“The Council must resolve this issue and reduce these numbers before it continues stitching up residents of Poole for yet more money, such as the current proposal to introduce charges for green bins. Further I don’t want to hear anything else about the Council’s desperate need for cuts and cash whilst it carries on paying so many more people so much moneyâ€
