I’m a Parish Councillor and to my knowledge, none of us do, or have, claimed for any expenses. 
 

But on the other hand, no one should be out of pocket too- just don’t take the pee.

That's very community minded of you, do you think the rises in Boston are justified?

I read what he said differently, it wasnt like he said to the PW massive 'dont take the pee' it was more about councillors et al not taking the pee ?

Jaymo is a decent bloke . He's just xxxx at running 😁.

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.
