Open data and transparency

As an organisation we understand the importance of being open and transparent about the decisions we take and how and where money is spent. Transparency improves local accountability and it makes it easier for people to challenge and shape their public services.

The Local Government Transparency Code 2015 sets out key principles local authorities must follow to ensure they publish information in a way that is helpful and relevant. We have used this as a starting point, but where possible we will go the extra mile to provide additional information.
