Annual Accounts 2025-26

The Local Government Transparency Code 2015 mandates that smaller councils with an annual turnover not exceeding £25,000 must publish specific financial and administrative information online, making it accessible to the public. The goal is to provide taxpayers with a clear understanding of the authority’s activities, spending, and governance, thereby enhancing the community’s ability to hold local public bodies accountable. Compliance is required for all parish and town councils with a turnover not exceeding £25,000.

Parish and town councils with an annual turnover not exceeding £25,000 must publish the following information online: All items of expenditure above £100, end-of-year accounts, annual governance statement, internal audit report, list of councillor or member responsibilities, details of public land and building assets, and minutes, agendas, and meeting papers of formal meetings.

The data and information must be published not later than 1 July in the year immediately following the accounting year to which it relates.
