Is there is a difference in the current level of funding for cycle training outside of London?

Is this a normal set up / pay conditions for councils / instructors outside of London?

Am I being unrealistic / naive in my expectations?

1. Yes funding in London by TfL/Boroughs is significantly higher than out of London
   
2. The set up varies from authority to authority. The rate you quote seems terribly low for such a complex professional job.
   
3. It's good you are explaining to them why you won't work at that rate.
