RECORD payments to Scotland’s Town Hall Fat Cats has sparked fury – just as whopping council tax bills pop through the nation’s letter boxes.

Top of the list of shame across all of the UK is Glasgow City Council’s former chief executive Annemarie O’Donnell, whose pay-and-pension package for leaving her post early cost the city £567,000.

City householders are now facing a 7.5 per cent increase in their council tax bills – more than double the rate of inflation – while residents of Falkirk will have to stump up an extra 15.6 per cent this month.

In addition, all 32 Scottish councils will today (April 1) increase the wages of councillors and provosts by up to £14,500 per year.

The Town Hall Rich List, published by the Taxpayers’ Alliance, found that a record 3906 council employees received more than £100,000 in salary in the last year.

A total of 1092 went further, taking home in excess of £150,000. The Prime Minister, by comparison, is paid £172,153.

The Taxpayers’ Alliance report singles out the controversial deal which saw Glasgow’s boss Annemarie O’Donnell collect an eye-watering £209,472 in salary when she took early retiral last year.

The council had to pay a further £357,317 to her pension fund because of the financial ‘strain’ her departure caused.

In a subsequent move, the local authority insisted elected members were unaware of the massive package and instructed an inquiry, which recently found no wrongdoing.

The City of Edinburgh was also highlighted in the Town Hall Rich List, due to the seven employees who took home more than £200,000.

The largest UK bonus given out was made to Marshall Dallas, the £159,000-a-year chief executive of Edinburgh International Conference Centre, a council subsidiary.

In the financial year 2022-23, Mr Dallas received a payment of £72,000 and a further £51,904 in 2023-24. He has since resigned.

John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “It’s a record-breaking year in many respects for taxpayers as the country hurtles towards a record tax burden, all while the public sector continues to feather its nest.

“As our latest Town Hall Rich List demonstrates, the number of council staff with six-figure remuneration packages has surged at the same time that services are being slashed and council tax is being hiked above inflation.

“Local residents can look up their own authority in our list and judge the quality of services and their council tax bill against the pay packets of their council bosses.”

Conservative shadow cabinet secretary for finance and local government Craig Hoy said: “Years of SNP Government underfunding of local authorities have resulted in savage cuts to services and steep council tax rises.

“And Glasgow, under the Nats’ control, is one of the worst examples.

“So it will stick in the throat for Scottish taxpayers, who are facing inflation-busting bills, when they see council fat cats raking in huge sums while essential services go to pot.”

A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said: “Every local authority in the country would agree that it is important that genuine taxpayers can access accurate information on executive pay and other aspects of council spending.

“That is why we already routinely publish the data.”
