I HAVE followed with interest the various items regarding the proposed parish council in Lickey End.
I do not wish to become embroiled in the pros and cons of parish councils but it does seem that there is a belief that parish councillors are paid attendance expenses like district councillors. This is not the case. The only expenses being payable are for travel on council business outside the parish boundary when a mileage allowance can be claimed.
