So why did Donna Hall Return to Wigan Council?

Being a boring kind of guy :-) I often read the Council's reports and keep an eye with what is going on. That is where I have seen a number of things over the years like when the Council was looking to sell Ashfield playing Fields to a developer, which they still intend to do, and also the millions they put away for victims of historic abuse cases in Wigan too.

It is known that last October Donna Hall got her bent copper friend to get a squad and come and arrest me - all illegal - but then as it is known I made a serious complaint to Greater Manchester Police with all the evidence I had against the bent copper friend. That investigation is still ongoing and despite the local paper saying that I want another investigation, probably because their friend Donna is trying to get the story of the investigation has gone away, which I can firmly say it hasn't and I don't need another investigation as I happy with how things are going at this time.

So I did this complaint accusing Donna Hall and her bent copper friend that she is in bed with (metaphor) she disappeared once she was informed she was being let go. I call that a sacking to me. She wasn't seen for months. Then we were told that she would be going sooner by the end of Feb. Due to the fact that I had put Wigan Council on notice of taking them back to the High Court on the basis that Donna Hall wasn't a fit and proper person to be the returning officer in March's local elections and that role is always held by the Chief Executive.

Then unexpectedly she popped back up at work at Wigan Council for a few weeks. Everyone wondered why? 

So I started to dig through the rafts of documents and accounts. Now you have to remember this is Oct 18 - Feb 19. So we go back to the pay policy the March before and we see that the Chief Executive pay is £165,000 and the Deputy Chief Executive pay is £140,000. Director is £120,000 and Assistant Director £80,000.

So then we move to the next pay policy and guess what the Chief Executive pay had risen from being capped at £165,000 grown to capped at £180,000. An increase of 9%! That's right 9%!.

The Deputy Chief Executive pay that had been capped at £140,000 had increased to being capped at £155,000. An increase of just short of 11%. Bloody hell where is this going to stop? But in goes. Directors that had their pay capped at £120,000 in 2018 was now capped at £125,000. Increase of 4% and finally Assistant Directors pay capped at £80,000 in 2018 was being capped in 2019 at £95,000 a pay rise of just under 4%.

I bet the pay rise for Donna Hall was made when she came back. She wanted to make sure she got the pay rise and whilst some might say, " Well if she was going then why to bother about her salary for her post?" Easy her pension - and let's not forget she lied (yet again) and said she was retiring. So her pension would ALSO go up by 9%. So even at the end she still just worries how she can get everything out the taxpayers and get everything she wants.


What about the front line staff?


What a great question so with the Chief Exec getting a 9% pay rise and Deputy Chief Executive 11% and assistant directors getting a whooping 19% you wonder what the front line staff got. 

2% SHOCKING!!!!!!!!

How disgusting the Senior Executive Team and the Controlling Labour Party do this. You know the so-called socialist party - proves and evidences that their motto is Do as we say and we will get what we want! Surely the frontline staff are worth more than 2% when the Senior Exec team are giving themselves such pay rises. Where are the unions that are supposed to represent the interest of the front line staff? Why are they not saying we want either more than 2% or you lot take a pay rise that is in line with front line staff. Where are the Socialist Labour Cllrs? O sorry, they too are getting their little sticky mitts on as much money for themselves as possible, inc fraudulently claiming expenses, we all know about those cases claiming travel mileage when they didn't have a car or childcare and being sent to jail etc. Surely you would think that they would want to help the front line staff? Nope.

Also, there has been so much frontline services cut for the public. This was down to the austerity cuts that the Conservatives Government did, with help from the Fib Dems coalition partner. So the Exec leadership team rip out services for you and me and then fill their own pockets with as much cash for themselves as they can.

I hope the Opposition independents Cllrs pick this info up and raise it with the Council. Motion to full Full Council could read.

This Council believes that the pay rises for the 4 top roles, Chief Executive, Deputy Chief Executive, Director and Assistant Directors in 2019 should be reversed and the new pay rises will be at 2018 level with a 2% increase - to bring the increases in line with front line staff.
