John O'Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "Taxpayers facing huge and hated council tax rises want to know they are getting value for money from their local authority leadership.
"At the onset of the coronavirus crisis, thousands of town hall officials were taking home huge sums. While councils were plunged into tackling the pandemic, many staff will have more than earned their keep, but households have nevertheless struggled with enormous and unpopular council tax rises.
"These figures shine a light on the town hall bosses who've got it right, and will enable residents to hold those who aren't delivering value for money to account."
