Council expenditure over £500 is published as part of a drive to improve openness and transparency. For reasons of privacy, payments to individuals including foster carers, children's and adult carers are not included in the list. Payments made via CHAPS, e.g. repayment of loans, funding to schools, housing benefit payments and payments taken directly from our bank account (excluding agency costs) are not included either. This dataset contains consolidated data for the 2013/14 financial year and is produced on an annual basis. Data for the current financial year is produced on a monthly basis and can be found here More information can be found on our website
