The council is on the hunt for a new boss after current chief executive Dr Lorraine O'Donnell announced she was leaving.Cheshire East's appointments committee had asked councillors to approve a pay band of £160k to £190k for Dr O'Donnell's successor. He feared if the lowest band level was £160k "some very good candidates may choose not to put their names forward".
But an amendment proposed by Conservative group leader Janet Clowes to increase the top end of the band from £190k to £200k was defeated.
