you may notice that the hours dont tally up with my last request i.e
last time they claimed 40 hours in November between the 18:00 and midnight, yet this time it adds up to 29 hours!
December they claimed 12 hours, this time only 3! and January they claimed 24 last time and only 22 hours! which makes you think they are making it up as they go along!
I have requested an investigation into this, so we might find out the truth about how little work they do!

@SC, it’s possible that the differences lie here: ‘between the hours of 12am to 8am’

you may remember from the first FOI request they stated no hours had been worked between 12am and 8am

probably an admin mistake, (not you admin) i cant imagine that if they were ‘made up’ then they would give themselves such bad figures!
it’s like making the premiership table up at the end of the season, and putting your favorite team near the bottom!
