Firstly, thank you to every single person who has signed and shared the petition calling for full transparency on the £32,000 (24%) pay rise awarded to Clackmannanshire’s Chief Executive.
Your support shows that residents care about accountability, fairness, and how public money is being spent — especially during a cost-of-living crisis.
At this stage, Clackmannanshire Council has yet to provide a full and clear update addressing the concerns raised. We are still waiting.
📊 Let’s not forget the context:
Since last year’s record-breaking 13% council tax rise, residents have faced:
📈 Rent up 6% this year
📈 Council Tax up 13% last year
📈 Now they want ANOTHER 5.6% rise for 2026
Meanwhile:
💷 Senior elected councillors?
⬆️ 40%+ pay rise weeks after last year’s tax hike.
💷 Chief Executive?
⬆️ £32,000 wage rise.
Residents are being asked to pay more and more — yet transparency and accountability still feel lacking.
🚨 Next Key Date – 27th February Budget Meeting
The next Council budget meeting is on 27th February, where councillors will decide whether to approve the proposed 5.6% council tax rise.
This is where we need your help again.
If you believe enough is enough…
If you believe residents deserve fairness…
If you believe increases must be justified properly…
