Two Hastings District councillors have attended almost every council and committee meeting over the last term, clocking up a 97 per cent attendance rate each.
John Roil and Simon Nixon both attended 95 out of 98 meetings in the current term, as listed in information supplied by the Hastings District Council from the beginning of this term until August 18.
They were followed closely by Wayne Bradshaw and Sandra Hazlehurst who were at 94 of the meetings and Kevin Watkins who was present at 93.
Tipping the scales the other way, Mick Lester and Henare O'Keefe recorded the most absences, with Mr Lester attending 76 meetings (77 per cent of the total) and Mr O'Keefe 79 (81 per cent).
Hastings mayor Lawrence Yule said the council had no rules regarding minimum attendance, apart from if a councillor missed three consecutive meetings without tabling an apology.
