BBC Tech salaries are awful, even by UK standards. Good luck for getting more efficient when you're not paying anyone to disrupt workflows.

North West Leicstershire council tax for band D is £1,886.88 including police, fire, and the two-layer system (plus parish/town precept) Rutland is £2,143.75 (plus parish/town) That's £20 a month extra.
