Can someone from Colchester Council explain to me why they seem to think the wages of their top people need to be as high if not higher than the Prime Minister.

Have they thought about outsourcing to reduce the wage bill.

Outsourcing and competitive tendering seems to be very popular to reduce the wages of council workers.

Forgive me if I am wrong but I don’t seem to see any evidence of outsourcing or competitive tendering at the top end.

I would be very interested to hear the explanation.
