Local government transparency code

The government believes all councils should publish the data they hold to make it easier for local people to contribute to decision making processes and help shape public services.

As part of this, the local government transparency code 2015 requires us to publish data about:

• how we spend our money 
• how we use council assets 
• how we make decisions
• issues important to local people

You can find links to the data we provide under the transparency code below.
