The figures come one month after West Sussex County Council approved a 4.99 per cent council tax rise for 2021/22.

On average, a Band D property owner in Arun will pay £1,967.34 over that 12-month period.

That means Nigel Lynn’s mammoth salary equates to an entire year’s worth of council tax from more than 74 homes in the district.
