Last updated: 22 April 2025

The council is required by law to publish detailed information about its spending in some areas including information about payments we make to external providers over £500, details of chief officer pay and income and spending from parking accounts.

We publish a monthly list of council purchases showing who we paid, how much we paid, and what for.

The information excludes personal data protected by the Data Protection Act 1998 from which any person can be identified:

on its own (for example, payments to named individuals), or
in combination with information already held about that person (eg. disclosure of a home address may identify a person)
