What is it that costs £6000?
Staffing costs mainly. Somewhere in the region of £180,000 (last time I asked) plus add on expenses of rooms, other staff time. This produces 27 Area Council meetings. 9 Area Councils, 3 meetings per year each. Chairs get £500 per year for the 3 meetings. Other councillors get nothing (quite correctly). There are usually a couple of extra Area Councils a year so if we work on 30 meetings, £180,000. Thats £6,000 per meeting is staffing costs.
How will you do it for £800?
I need to check but roughly Labour will leave a much reduced budget to help arrange the current meetings with on the night help (tables chairs etc..) from wardens (who had begun doing that recently). £800 is the average from the revised budget and number of meetings.

I will check but most Area Council Staff.

Nothing
