Four of South Kesteven District Council's senior managers were paid a total of over £500,000 last year, a report issued today reveals.

The TaxPayers' Alliance Town Hall Rich List shows that the council's Chief Executive and three Strategic Directors received a combined £555,000 in salaries and pension contributions in 2017-2018.

The TPA's Town Hall Rich List is the only comprehensive list of its kind, with council-by-council breakdown.

Praised in the past by politicians from across different political parties, it is the go-to guide for local government executive pay deals.

It details the full remuneration and many of the names of all local council employees whose remuneration exceeds £100,000.

The TPA is a lobby group focused on reforming taxes and public services, cutting waste and speaking up for British taxpayers.
