NEWQUAY
The local press today report that a director at Newquay Airport has had his pay increased from £69K to £125 p.a. The airport was described by one County Councillor thus - "the Council is picking up the same level of salary as a corporate director when they are running a facility that carries as many passengers as the bus service in Truro every day."
The salary increase equates to roughly 50p per passenger using the airport.
Cornwall is the least affluent County in the country, the Council seem to forget this from time to time.........
Also reported today is that military personnel above the rank of Sergeant in London will lose their London allowances - it's a funny old world isn't it.
