Cllr John Woodward
IN our article "Councillor's '£700 per hour' yearly wage" (Cornish Guardian, October 8, 2008) we reported that Cornwall county councillor John Woodward's annual pay, when divided by the number of hours spent in council meetings, worked out as more than £700 per hour.
We would like to make it clear that this figure accounts only for time spent in official council meetings and not for the other duties which the allowance covers.
We would also like to acknowledge that our original calculation was based on a misreading of data – which led to an underestimation of Mr Woodward's levels of attendance at council meetings – and to apologise to Mr Woodward for not contacting him prior to publication to confirm our figures.

“Where's the editorial control when a rag such as yours can carry out character assassinations on public figures with impunity. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I bet this apology is not on the front page.”
