Campaigns director William Yarwood says staffing costs across nine combined authorities reached £341 million between 2019 and 2024, while hundreds of Greater Manchester staff received remuneration packages worth more than £50,000.  He also attacks proposed tourism levies and uncapped mayoral precepts as cynical tax grabs that could hit families, hospitality businesses and local taxpayers. #Devolution #TaxpayersAlliance #AndyBurnham Have you got a story?
