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.
Here's the authority's Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Finance and Resources- Gareth Dadd:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
