Proposed Cuts in Moray - a director's post to go saving 115K - could Highland Council do similar?

The cuts are going to the bone in Moray too and the Northern Scot makes frightening reading today as they list all the cuts that are going to be considered across the local authority's area. One piece of information is quite striking however:

"Chief Executive -Remove director’s post: £115,000 "   Could Highland Council do that? Share the pain at all levels?

Hi Gurn

I don't take the Northern Scot and the bit on line focuses Classroom assistants. Is there any chance of a little more detail?

Might be less councillors now (on a wage anyway), we used to have 10 in the Courthouse besides the ones who got sent to Inverness.
There are now about 50-60? unpaid community councillors across Nairnshire and they are very good value for money.
