Top 100 Council Workers pocket £7.5 Million pound a year

The new figures published by Thurrock council have shown what value for money local taxpayers have been getting.

The report which lists senior staff wages for 2007/2008 shows the top 100 earners wage is nearly 7.5 Million pounds a year between all of them.

The report also shows that Chief executive Angie Ridgwell earns more than a quarter of a million pound a year! (between £260,001 - £270,000)

Great news for her but not so great for all the residents who are having to decide if they should pay fuel bills or pay council tax.

At least she will be having a great Christmas!
