SNP, Glasgow and Topping Up Council Bosses Pay
The SNP certainly know how to move quickly and decisively when it comes to topping up the pay of local SNP councillors in Glasgow.
Who's In Whose Pocket In Glasgow? (January 21, 2022)
Glasgow City Council's 'Register of Interests' records information about councillors' remuneration although few councillors bother even to explain their own council salaries never mind details of other paid employment.
The entries in this blog post now need updating, but the details were recorded from the GCC register which was in force in prior to the council elections in May 2021.
Lots of information is deliberately not included in the register, such as the time councillors spend working for other MSPs and MPs, but it makes very interesting reading nonetheless.
The current minimum salary for a part-time, backbench councillor is £18,604 which is two-thirds of a notional full-time rate of £27,906.
Senior councillors are paid enhanced, full-time salaries because of their additional responsibilities including the Glasgow council leader who is paid a salary of £55,817.
