Finance, budgets and transparency

The government has recommended that all local authorities should publish certain information, to ensure that they are open and transparent.

You can view the list of what we need to publish in the  Local Government Transparency Code 2015.

We have just over 900 employees in our corporate structure.

You can contact us if you can't find the information you are looking for, including for information on fraud and waste contracts.

We do not have any housing stock and so don't hold any data about social housing asset value.
