Chester tax-payers to provide half of top boss’ salary

Jun 11 2008 by David Holmes, Chester Chronicle

CHESTER council tax-payers will pay half the salary of a £100,000 director being appointed to oversee the rebirth of the city.

The Chester Renaissance boss must ensure targets are delivered in re-energising Chester against the background of a global credit crunch which has already caused the £400m Northgate Development to stall.

He or she will be tasked with attracting more premier retail sites, affordable housing, luxury accommodation and top class restaurants.

Appointed on a three-year contract, the director’s £100,000 per annum salary will be funded equally between Chester City Council and the North West Development Agency (NWDA).

Full story in Friday’s Chronicle.
