2019 Town Hall Rich List Roadshow: Northampton

The average council tax bill has gone up by more than £900 in the last 20 years and spending has gone through the roof. Councils are trying to plug their financial blackholes through tax rises and cuts to public services, rather than scaling back the pay packets of council staff.

Northamptonshire County Council had 19 employees who received more than £100,000 in 2017-18.

We will be raising awareness on the Northampton High Street about just how many employees are earning over £100,000.
