Oh, and £20,700 a month for July and August. So that's £88,200 for five months...

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...
