New data shows that shows just over 0.1 per cent of staff at North Yorkshire council receive more than £100,000 a year.
It means the authority is ranked as the second leanest of comparable councils in the country.
The council’s annual pay policy for senior officers for 2025/26 shows 32 officers currently earn a six-figure sum, with chief executive Richard Flinton on £211,044 a year.
The five directors — Gary Fielding, Stuart Carlton, Richard Webb, Karl Battersby and Nic Harne — all receive £159,178.
The 2024/25 salaries of the senior officers rose by 2.5 per cent from the previous financial year due to nationally agreed pay increases, with no agreement yet reached for 2025/26.
