Transparency

We are committed to being open and transparent about how we work, how our decisions are made and what services we provide. As part of this commitment we publish information about how we spend our money and buy our services, the land and assets we won, our decision making and council finances.

The data on this page is published under the Open Government Licence and is available for you to re-use as you like, including for commercial and research activities.
