The number of Warwickshire County Council (WCC) officers earning over £100,000 has been revealed.

Some 31 Shire Hall employees pull in six-figure salaries, with the council's chief executive Monica Fogarty topping the pile with her £214,300 a year pay packet.

Those top council bosses added a combined £4,033,160 to the wage bill at the local authority in 2024-5.

Figures were released in yesterday's (April 13) Town Hall Rich List published by the TaxPayers' Alliance which revealed council bosses receiving more than £100,000 in 2024-25 was at the highest level nationally since the dataset was first published in 2007.

Some 4,733 local government officers across the UK hit six figures, 827 more than the year before.

At WCC six employees earn over £150,000, the data revealed.

The Rich List did not name all those at Shire Hall topping the wage bill but did reveal executive directors Rob Powell, Nigel Minns and Mark Ryder all to be the joint-second top earners on £166,100.

They were followed by the executive director for social care and health, Becky Hale, on £153,957.
