Our PC website has just announced that they will be closing down from 19 December until 7 Jan.   I have no idea whether  this has been formally agreed but surely there must be some days within this period which are regarded as working days .

Does the SLCC issue any Christmas arrangements advising what days off over Christmas  should be taken as annual  leave .  I suspect that it is just accepted as  a freebie

Our clerk prepares a report with proposed Christmas closure and reopening dates which we vote on at our December meeting. This year our closure dates are the same as yours, which I think sound reasonable and are mainly as a function of Christmas being on a Wednesday and thus a bit awkward this year.

Why would you assume it is additional paid leave and not being deducted from the staff's annual leave allowance?
