North Yorkshire Council Confirm Top Earners

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.
