In addition regards mileage claims, we would agree a base / work location which would form the standard commute mileage. This is likely to be one of the Council’s primary RHWSs (excluding Whetstone) that is the closest one to where the candidate lives.

So for the purposes of mileage claims, the base is likely to be one of Barwell, Coalville, Loughborough, Market Harborough Melton, Mountsorrel or Oadby. They can then claim mileage undertaken daily that is above their commute to and from that agreed primary RHWS.
