Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you disclose the salary of the outgoing chief executive Robin Hooper. As council tax payers, I believe we have a right to know how our taxes are being spent, especially as most other councils in Shropshire have disclosed the figures.

Yours faithfully,

N Hanna

Dear SAM ROBERTS,

Under the FOI Act I requested details of the salary of the outgoing chief executive Robin Hooper, given that his salary is funded by our taxes and also that other councils in Shropshire have released details of the salaries of their chief executives.

So far you have not responded within what I believe to be a 20 working day period as you are required.

I look forward to your very speedy response.

Yours sincerely,

Nic Hanna
Benyon Street, SY1 2JQ

Dear Mr Hanna

Thank you for your email. Your original email was forwarded to the
appropriate officer for reply and when that colleague is next in the

he will be in a position to respond. My apologies for the delay in
replying.

Yours sincerely
Sam Roberts
PA to Council Manager
