The Government published the Local Government Transparency Code in October 2014.
The intention of the Code is to increase transparency in the publication of public sector data and particularly around how public money is being spent, in order to allow local people to hold local authorities to account over how their council tax is spent and the decisions that are taken on their behalf.
Monk Hesleden Parish Council is committed to being open and transparent in its decision-making processes and in the spending of taxpayer’s money, it fully supports the principals of the Code.
The Code recommends easy and open access to the following information:
Senior Employees’ Salaries over £58,200 per year
No employee receives a salary at this level or above.
Staffing structure: Organisational chart showing staff structure and current vacancies
Councillor Allowances and Expenses
