Rejected petition Force councils to make their CEOs take a pay cut and give up bonuses instead of council tax rises
Council tax keeps going up each year but the CEOs of all councils are on over 80-100k a year without the bonuses and expenses. Instead of forcing people on lower wages than them to pay more they should cut their CEOs and other high paid workers on over 45k to take a pay cut to claw back the shortfalls in the budget. They keep on about a cost of living crisis but it doesn't affect those at the top. The council tax rises are unfair and budget cuts without considering other options.
More details
We get council tax rises each year for less services. A few years back the media said about the CEOs pay and how many there are in each council. They get a pay rise each year where normal council workers do not and are also expected to pay the ridiculous rises. It impacts families and many people are ending up in court because they can't afford to pay.
