If this is the case with you .... short journeys, guess wouldn't be worth the time recording it, etc ? The town hall or Scaitcliffe house the workplace.
There's nothing for visiting residents (which actually takes up the most time) but each visit to Scaitcliffe House or the Town Hall for a meeting to which I was specifically invited can be logged for me as an 8 mile round trip or £4.80. If I decide to drive up to Scaitcliffe to do some paperwork or see a group member then it doesn't count because it isn't an officially scheduled meeting and all expenses and allowances are taxable
