This petition aims to reduce the divide between rich and poor in Plymouth by asking for a £50,000 cap on the salaries of senior civil servants. We feel that £50,000 is a fair, living wage for anyone living in this city.

We challenge those currently in council positions earning over £50,000 (please bear in mind that our chief executive Barry Keel is earning in excess of £170,000 including pension contributions but not including expenses) to either accept the pay cut or find an alternative job in the private sector in Plymouth where they can match their current salary/pension.

Whilst our senior officers impose cuts on those at the lower end of the pay scale we feel it  is essential that those cuts are matched at the higher end of the pay scale.
