Council chief's £200,000 salary





Salaries for council chiefs range from £170,000 to more than £200,000

The chief executive of the unified Cornwall Council is to be paid an annual salary of £200,000, it has been announced.

Kevin Lavery, who will take up his post next month, will lead an organisation with a budget of more than £1bn.

The unitary authority will have a staff of more than 22,000, making it the biggest single employer in Cornwall and one of the largest in England.

The new Cornwall Council will take over on 1 April 2009.

It will amalgamate the county council and six existing district and borough councils, making a saving of about £500,000 by having one chief executive.
