‘At a time of huge reductions in Government funding for local councils forcing cuts in health, education, care for older people and children, Devon County Council is offended by the reported 26% pay rise for the chief executive of the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership.
We call upon the Council to take urgent steps to stop the annual pay rise of £24,271 and if it cannot do that, to withdraw from membership of the Partnership until common sense prevails with regard to top management pay increases’.
