Let me try and break it down into simple steps for you. 

 

The current in National minimum wage for people over 21 years old has just had a 9.8% increase to £11.44 an hour. 

 

So any unskilled worker doing the most menial of tasks could potentially be earning equivalent full-time of over £22,000. 

 

So, if an envelope stuffer and floor cleaner is earning potentially £22k how much more do you think is reasonable for a skilled Administrator to earn? An office manager? A qualified analyst or planner? A social worker? A department manager? A qualified lawyer?.....  Do you see where this is going....

 

Like I said, a chief executive in charging an entire sector or division of a large organisation comes with a certain salary.  

A certain salary that is not required for the level of decisions 

 

Paying someone £200k+ right off the bat with no incentive is the worst possible way to spend the peoples tax money

Based on the lack of achieving growth in Sheffield we are miles away from every other same population city 

 

We once challenged leeds but SCC have thwarted any chance of Sheffield becoming great again

Based on nothing then other than a load of unsubstantiated, unverified, irrelevant bull spewing from your keyboard.  Irene is that you dear?

What did we challenge Leeds for?  What do Leeds city council do better than Sheffield?

Problem is that people like yourself like to compare  us with Leeds and Manchester.

 

They are larger cities in terms of the city region population they serve. Leeds city region has a population of circa 3 million and Manchester is 2.8 million. Whereas Sheffield is around 1.6 million.

 

Comparisons with places twice your size aren’t fair ones, are they?

 

Levels of government funding tend to reflect population, so naturally Leeds and Manchester get more than we do and will look to have more happening in terms of public funded projects etc.
