Council head, who presided over UK child grooming scandal, receives pay-off

The British Government should take steps to claw back some of the pay-off given to a former council chief executive who presided over a sickening grooming scandal, an MP has said.

Former Rochdale Council chief executive Roger Ellis, who was in charge when a grooming gang operated in the area, took early retirement and reportedly received a near £80,000 pay-off.
