Andy Mitchell, chief executive of the London super sewer project, received a 600,000 pay rise to 2.5m for the year ending March 2025. The project's total cost now stands at 4.6bn, up 100m from last year, and significantly over the original estimate of 3.5bn. Mitchell's salary increase includes a 500,000 retention bonus, positioning his compensation under scrutiny amid rising customer bills for project funding. The project aims to modernize a sewage system dating back to the Victorian era, addressing growing concerns over water pollution in London's rivers and seas.
The chief executive of the London super sewer project has been awarded a 600,000 pay rise even as the firm revealed that the total cost had risen by 100m.
Mitchell's pay increase was mostly driven by 500,000 added to his retention bonus, which hit 1.5m.
The Tideway project is seen as a crucial upgrade to London's sewage system, which had been reliant on sewers designed during the reign of Queen Victoria.
The total cost has now reached 4.6bn, the Tideway company said, up from 4.5bn reported last year and more than 1bn over the initial 3.5bn estimate.
