Transparency Code for Smaller Authorities

This Code is issued to meet the Government's desire to place more power into citizen's hands to increase democratic accountability. Transparency gives local people the tools and information they need to hold local public bodies to account.

The information you can see on this page covers the majority of the requirements of the code. The list below will show where the information can be found if it is not on this website.
