Answer: Please see the attached FOI2025 01920 Response Spreadsheet, which contains manager job titles and salary bands, as requested.

Please be advised, we publish data on salaries for roles over £50,000 via the transparency code. This information is publically available on our council website and can be viewed via the following links:

·  https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/your-council/senior-management-team/

·  https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/media/pxmhazej/senior-salary-information-31-march-2025.xlsx

·  https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/media/bolddtjl/senior-salary-count-as-at-31-march-2025.pdf

As such we consider this information to be exempt under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 because it is reasonably accessible to you via other means. Please take this letter as a refusal notice under S17 of the Act.
