According to the local newspaper Rusthall Parish Council has an 'interim clerk' who will be in post until May 2012. The clerk is Paul Cummins. He works for Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.
Is the Parish Council paying Mr Cummins or is the Borough Council subsidising the Parish Council? Is Mr Cummins doing this on a voluntary basis?
Perhaps we should not read too much into the fact that Mr Cummins will be in post until next May. The inference I draw is that the parish Council is not going to receive sufficient funding in the current financial year to employ its own clerk.
