Ms Lyn Hagin Meade:

Something that struck me was the point raised about safety and well-being. I would like to focus on the well-being part. Many people have spoken about having second jobs that they also do alongside their part-time role. I wonder how many hours a week this makes in total for work and where the work-life balance is in this context. Perhaps something the committee can consider is where this culture of work-life balance is at in terms of being a councillor and how this issue can be addressed for all councillors in respect of the hours they work, how safe this is for their health and the well-being of themselves and their families. I thank the committee.
