A PROMINENT national newspaper bears the heading: Taxpayers fund an army of 3,500 'climate change' staff as key services are slashed. As a matter of interest, I would like to know the total cost to North Somerset Council and the number in the army of climate change staff. When I talk of total cost I include the gross salary, the employers' national insurance, the pension contribution and the appropriate addition of administrative costs and overheads.HAROLD JAMES - Upper Church Road, Weston
