Financial spend data

The Local Government Transparency Code was first published by the Government in 2011, and further revised in October 2014 and February 2015.

The code requires that local authorities publish details of expenditure exceeding £500 every 3 months. This includes government procurement card transactions.

We publish this information each month, with no minimum transaction value. This is to be as open and democratic as we can be. Our downloadable files are in a machine readable format (Comma Separated Values – CSV) in line with the legislation.

2025 to 2026 monthly spend data

We add the files every month for the current financial year. At the end of the year we replace them with a yearly summary.
