Transparency Code for Councils in England with an annual turnover not exceeding £25,000

The Smaller Authorities (Transparency Requirements) (England) Regulations 2015 requires the on-line publication of Parish Council information which the Government says will provide taxpayers with a clear picture of the Council's' activities, spending and governance and will improve the ability of communities to hold local public bodies to account.  

Alderton Parish Council's turnover currently exceeds £25,000, however in the interests of openness and transparency we will publish the required information as set out in Part 2 of the Code: 

​

• all items of expenditure above £100

• end of year accounts 

• annual governance statement

• internal audit report 

• list of councillor or member responsibilities

• the details of public land and building assets

• minutes, agendas and meeting papers of formal meetings

.

The Code states that the information specified must be published on a website which is publicly accessible and free of charge.
