Publication of Expenditure
We are now publishing information about all our expenditure over £500. Each month we will publish the data for the previous month. You can download a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or a pdf document containing this information using the links below.
We want this information to be useful to you and it is freely available under the terms recommended by Central Government to ensure our data is open and transparent.
What is not included?
The files contain details of all expenditure during each month with a value of £500 or more (excluding VAT). All personal details have been removed and any payments of a personal nature will not be included. Examples of excluded payments are:
- Salary Payments to Staff (except some senior staff whose information will be published separately)
- Pension and National Insurance contributions
- Severance Payments
- Payments to Individuals from Legal processes
- Competition prizes
- Settlements made with companies as an arbitration which is conditional on confidentiality
- Transactions relating to the financing or underwriting of debt
- Provisions or promises to pay not yet realised
Making sense of the information
The data is split into eight columns, containing
| Column heading | What it means |
| Service area categorisation | As all the things we do relate to waste disposal this column will always say “Waste Disposal” |
| Service division categorisation | This will tell you which area of work it relates to e.g. Transfer station Victoria Road shows the payment relates to that site |
| Expense type | This gives more detail about the reason for the payment e.g. vehicle maintenance |
| Payment date | When we paid the organisation |
| Transaction number | The unique reference number for the expenditure |
| Amount | The amount we paid |
| Type | This tells you whether it was a capital or revenue payment |
| Supplier name | The name of the organisation we paid |
