An independent panel appointed by the combined authority has recommended increasing the South Yorkshire mayor’s pay by almost £30,000.
South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority board members will next week decide whether to approve the independent remuneration panel’s recommendations to increase Oliver Coppard’s remuneration/allowance from £79,000 to £107,000. A report published ahead of the meeting stated that the key issue for the IRP was the extent to which the powers of the mayor have changed since the last review in 2020.
This new framework will give SYMCA more power in, among other things, accessing a consolidated long-term settlement for transport funding, control of single housing and regeneration, greater control over skills and careers education funding, and the ability to take on a formal health improvement duty . This, the report said, will also mean the mayor will be more accountable.
