At least we still have the vote. For now.

Council salaries revealed under the FoI act

One presumes this information freel... er... grudgingly shared also extends to the numbers of officers there are in total, their functions, salaries and pension consequences.

Where it might fall down is actually finding out what gets done for the money, to assess the ROI per person for this investment by the local taxpayers. But it's better than nothing (the information, I mean).

But such data is only worth having if it can be used.

And with luck the local taxpayers of Hackney will make very good use of it.
