Mr O'Sullivan was suspended,
along with his deputy Nigel Barnett [settled] and the head of legal services Daniel Perkins [settled].

Ex-council chief executive Anthony O'Sullivan was suspended on full pay in 2013 amid allegations of misconduct but charges were dropped before trial.

He is yet to reach an agreement with the council and is on special leave while an investigation takes place.

It had been claimed [they] had agreed to give themselves a 20% increase when most other council staff faced pay freezes.

Criminal charges against the three men were dropped in 2015, and Mr Barnett and Mr Perkins left their jobs in October last year with compensation payouts between them of nearly £300,000.

This has gone on for six years!!!.....predicted to cost £4m
