FOI001504 FOI Finance

I would like a detailed breakdown of the council’s spending over the past twelve months.

Specifically, please provide:
• A breakdown of all council expenditure by category for the last financial year (e.g. education, adult social care, waste management, housing, road maintenance, staffing, communications, etc.)
• The total amount allocated and spent on each category
• Any changes to spending compared to the previous financial year
• Details of any new projects, initiatives, or investments that may have contributed to the increased budget
• The percentage of the council tax revenue allocated to each major area of spending

If possible, I would prefer to receive this information electronically in a spreadsheet or PDF format.
