The number of thick cats in the town hall that fell six -digit wage packages has been shocked on a record, a report has been revealed.
Despite limiting families with inflation-busting council tax increases, with more in the operation of today, at least 262 chefs from the local authority received more than £ 200,000 in wages, pensions, payouts and bonuses.
This was 87 compared to the year before – an increase of 50 percent.
The number that fell more than £ 150,000, rose from 829 to 1,092 (by 32 percent), while those who took £ 100,000 or more from 3,105 to 3,906 (25 percent).
The study of the alliance of the taxpayers also showed that 238 bosses from the council had salaries in 2023-24 than the £ 172,153 that a prime minister can claim.
Others left their work with 'Golden Goodbyes' of more than £ 450,000 or received bonuses above £ 50,000.
Nottingham and Woking Councils had eight officials who each names of at least £ 100,000, despite both in 2023 effectively declare themselves bankrupt.
Last year, Woking was therefore allowed to impose the tax increases of the council of 10 percent on hard -oppressed households.

The number has risen to a record, a new report has been unveiled – that is despite the current BIN strikes in Birmingham (above) in which rats roam the streets for weeks

The count of six -digit six figures receives is the highest because the alliance of the taxpayers in 2007 began to put together his annual 'Town Hall Rich List'.
John O'Connell, the Chief Executive of the campaign group, said: 'It is in many ways a record year for taxpayers, while the country is rowing to a record tax, while the public sector remains its nest.
“The number of council staff with six -digit reward packages has risen at the same time that the services are reduced and the tax tax is increased above inflation.”
Although it acknowledged that this was partially powered by a higher number of local authorities who publish accounts, it will make families angry who are confronted with inflation-busting Council tax increases of 5 percent from today.
And it comes alongside a series of other walks, including water, energy, broadband accounts and road tax that is dubbed in some 'terrible April'.
Most councils in England announced last month that they intended to abolish the council's tax account by 4.99 percent – the maximum amount that the government permitted to request without permission.
It will increase the typical band D account from £ 2,171 to £ 2,280.
Some councils may rise from a maximum of 10 percent, including Windsor & Maidhead, Bradford, Birmingham and Somerset.

It comes after Councils spent nearly £ 52 million last year on creating equality, diversity and inclusion.
Most of the staff still let the staff still work from home, with a growing number even permission for them to log in from abroad.
Approvals rose from 73 in 2020/21 to 731 in 2023/24, in which some councils admit that it was now an official policy to have personnel work from abroad every year.
At the same time, many town halls cut their services such as BIN collections, silage repairs and libraries.
Six councils have effectively failed and many more claim that they are on the edge.
The largest package was for Annemarie O'Donnell, the former Chief Executive of the Glasgow city council. The total payment was £ 567,317.

It included a salary of £ 209.472 and £ 357,845 in pension contributions. The amount of the pension contribution was due to the pressure on the fund costs before its retirement.
The council, who had 42 bosses at £ 100,000 or more, had to look at making cuts on the services after he had already surrendered his budget for 2024/25 in February of this year.
Conservative MP Joe Robertson said that Councils always seem to be able to find the money to finance the six -digit salaries of the council leaders.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, led by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, said: “Although Councils are independent employers who are responsible for managing their own finances, we have been clear that they must consider the money of taxpayers wise and carefully the impact of their decisions.”
And former Tory leader Sir Iin Duncan Smith said: 'Because others have had trouble gaining wage increases after the job destructive tax increase by the Chancellor Rachel Reeves [to employers’ National Insurance]These officials seem to think that they live in another country – where the rules do not apply to them.
