Introduction

We are required by the Local Government Transparency Code 2015 to publish details of each individual item of our expenditure that exceeds £500.

This includes items of expenditure, such as:

  • Individual invoices
  • Grant payments
  • Expense payments
  • Payments for goods and services
  • Grants in aid
  • Rent and Credit notes over £500
  • Transactions with other public bodies

The term ‘payments’ only applies to payments made directly from local authorities’ budgets. It does not include schools where expenditure was incurred directly by the school.
