Six-figure salaries of city council officers 'beggar belief'
The council said the work involved “complex and high-risk projects"
More on pay at West of England Combined Authority: Nicki Beardmore's company (she of CAZ) was paid £46,800 for Sep-Nov. If £17,100 is the monthly fee (tho only £12,600 in Sep) that's £205,200pa. I am told she shares Norris's unused office with Kevin Slocombe. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

Here's what Kevin Slocombe's Cives consultancy has charged West of England CA for Sept-Nov: £61,000 for three months' work. (Yes, £240,000 pa, if it goes on.) Curiously charged as "Financial Services", which is obs untrue. Presumably Labour candidate Helen Godwin will keep him on if elected mayor.
