Councils must produce an annual statement of accounts in accordance with legislative requirements and the Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting.

Our annual statements of accounts are available below. Unless otherwise stated, these are the illustrated final versions complete with audit certificate.

We're aware that some of the documents might not be entirely accessible if you use assistive technology to browse our website. We're working to fix any issues, but in the meantime if you need a document in a different format, please contact us using our online form. See our accessible documents policy for more details.
