The Tax Payers' Alliance reports that Wandsworth had the most employees receiving remuneration in excess of £100,000 in London and that the biggest remuneration package was received by Paul Martin, Chief Executive of Wandsworth Council - £274,224.

This was in fact a reduction in the number of employees - in 2011-12 there were 32 employees earning more than than £100,000.

29 top level employees received a bonus ranging from £5,175 to £19,080 paid to Mr Martin.

Mr Martin was the only employee to earn over £200,000, in 2011-12 there were no salaries above £200,000 but in 2012-11 3 employees were earning over £250,000.

The Council has informed us that of the 29 posts included for Wandsworth, 11 have now been deleted, a council spokesman said:
“We have reduced the number of senior managers by 30 per cent and saved more than a million pounds in executive pay since 2010 and that process is continuing. Wandsworth has a proven track record of providing residents with the best value for money services of any local authority in the country. We have one of the highest residents' satisfaction approval ratings while our council tax is half the London average and has been the lowest in the whole UK for the past 20 years."
