Monthly expenditure data (council spending)
The government's transparency programme holds public bodies to account, delivering better value for money in public spending and helping to cut the record deficit. The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government requests that all local councils publish details of all their supplier spending over £500. We are required to publish data in CSV files, on a monthly basis, no later than 30 days after the month end. The data is made available for use under the terms of the Open Government Licence.
Purchase card expenditure data
Council staff holds a number of purchasing cards for emergency use or for making purchases when no other method of payment is accepted.
