How much time does it take to be a Councillor?

How much time does it take to be a Councillor?

Posted by Ian Manning | Updated 2017-09-26

The title of this post is a common question I get: often I find that people think County Councillors have an office and/or staff. There is also an issue of transparency.

So, I've started, in a very modest way, to try and record how much time I'm spending on activities I consider I do "because" I'm a Councillor. I've deliberately made the definition of this very wide.
