LABOUR deputy leader Dame Jackie Baillie has hit out at increases in pay for the bosses of Scottish Water.
The body’s annual report released yesterday shows chief executive Alex Plant received a £50,000 boost to his annual salary — which now sits at £295,000 — between 2024 and 2025, while his total package, including pension contributions, grew by £40,000, to a total of £523,000.
Chief operating officer Peter Farrer saw his salary fall by around £20,000 but his overall package increase to £312,000, and chief financial officer Alan Dingwall — who joined the firm last year — was paid a salary of £175,000 and a total package of £293,000.
