    Can we therefore agree for once it's a good thing and sets an example. Motion to pass?

    They only give 1 voucher per five workers, one sits down and enjoys the meal while the other 4 stand watching.

    As a TU rep I hope a thorough H&S assessment for said meals are carried out.

    TBH mate not familiar with the bar prices. But would’ve thought £4 a pint wouldn’t be far off.

    Wouldn’t all the staff have to declare this as a BIK?

    Not a massive amount of money I know, but wouldn’t they have to?

    Wouldn’t have thought so.. legally speaking it’s 3 pieces of paper with no value.

    £5.40 for neck oil but the place is amazing and will do well for years to come, I went in I think it was the last home game we were allowed to attend ( after) at say 18:00 it was ten deep at the bar singer on decent choice of snap, very cosmopolitan.

    Think it’s a good gesture , a lot of council employees are low paid workers who do difficult jobs particularly in Social Care .

    As a partner of a council worker, myself having to first hand pay staff furlough and watching how self employed friends have took the 10k grant, done up their houses etc not even needing it and not normally earning anywhere near 10k in the pandemic months l think you're wrong.

    The 10k grant ******* stinks and were going to have to pay it back for them. That's where the council's moneys gone.

    Yes I’ve heard good things about the bar.
    Only had a cuppa coffee in there in the afternoon tho.
    Really nice place.
    Small coffee bar - they have their own coffee - very nice. Light and refreshing - I think they call the coffee Fireback.
    What wasn’t nice - is that I witnessed a 6 year old getting punched by his 15 year old relative (cousin?).
    Couldn’t believe my eyes.
    It shocked everyone that saw it.

    HMRC speaking, it’s a £20 bonus. If you class it as paper, it still had a cash equivalent value of £20 to the recipient or anyone the recipient passed it to?

    Like I say, my only thought was whether it should be declared or not.
