Your right to know
If you have burning questions about the County Council’s financial affairs, now’s your time to ask. The Council does little to promote the fact that, every year, members of the public have the right (under the Audit Commission Act 1998) to inspect the accounts for the previous year. Contracts, receipts and invoices are open to scrutiny, with little room for the Council to claim confidentiality.
This year the inspection period runs from 13 August to 10 September. If you’d like help with applying for information, do let me know.
