Harrow Council says it has reduced the wages of senior managers - but 10 members of staff still earn more than £100,000.

The TaxPayer’s Alliance compiled a Town Hall Rich List which showed the annual remuneration of local authority employees across the country.

In the last financial year, Harrow Council paid 10 members of staff £100,000 or more, which is down from 18 in 2014-15.

But the council said they have been making “significant” savings to ensure taxpayers’ money goes into funding services in the area rather than on wages.

Leader of the council, Cllr Sachin Shah said: “We have reduced the numbers of senior managers saving millions from our budget in recent years.

“There are now 10 members staff paid over £100,000, compared to a few years ago as shown in the report by the Tax Payers Alliance.

“We have also made significant efficiency savings and reduced waste to ensure taxpayers money goes into funding vital services - not wages.

“In the face of reduced funding from government we have also been successful in generating additional incomes by selling our services to other councils, which includes our legal services.”

Harrow Council voted to raise council tax by 4.99 per cent earlier this year – 1.99 per cent for core tax and 3 per cent for the social care precept.
