Town Clerk and Assistant Clerk

As a member of the public I question why we need to pay the town clerk so much money, it became very obvious to me as my time as a councillor the clerk was not qualified to give advice.

The work load of the Clerk is not the large for the size of this small town and he is paid one stage below the highest paid town clerk the country normally afforded to a much larger town with a greater responsibility.

Although he has an assistant I never received notice of meetings with the three clear days notice.

And the apparent loss of my emails which included statements from the public was astonishing.

Maybe its because the assistant is always busy eating bacon sandwiches.
