Just like when i worked for the Maelor Council people leave all of their leave in case of emergencies (like the Coronavirus) so it is a bun fight for everyone to take it before the end of March.
Try getting in touch with anyone and getting an answer and they tell you so and so isn’t in until April.
I don’t know but talkin about this in Spoons and some people have leave starting on their birthdays so you don’t get a mad rush at the end of march. Why dont the Council do this? Even a puppet can see this would work.
