    £4.6 million in salaries for 47 Birmingham Council bosses



    The annual wage bill for 47 directors and assistant directors at cash-strapped Birmingham City Council has been revealed as £4.6 million.

    Their huge pay levels are being revealed for the first time – a week after politicians announced plans to cull 2,500 staff to save £212 million in the coming year.
    Read the entire story in the Birmingham Post.
