There have been calls for an independent investigation into a ‘relocation allowance’ given to the chief executive of West Sussex County Council.

Nathan Elvery was granted a reported £47,500 to help him move house after he left Croydon Council in 2016 on top of his £190,000 a year salary.

While the council insisted the payment was ‘fully in line with policy’, Land Registry documents confirmed Mr Elvery still owned his home in Epsom, Surrey, as well as his new flat in Southgate, Chichester.
