Correct a mondo. However, what are comparable Councils offering. It does seem excessive, but maybe put into context if they haven’t had a change ( without full knowledge of all councils, then we don’t know) for decades, maybe it is overdue? Whenever anything is expressed as a percentage it sounds doubly bad. The ‘never off of the clock’ part is true. We may meet once a month for a few hours, but the amount of admin that seems to pass back n forth or Parishioner’s questions, can sometimes be unending. As I said, I don’t claim anything and won’t. 4 hours ago, mel b3 said: That's how I read it 👍. Jaymo is a decent bloke . He's just xxxx at running 😁. Ouch….
