The transparency code is designed to meet the governments’ desire to place more power into citizen’s hands to increase democratic accountability.

It applies to parish councils with an annual turnover not exceeding £25,000. The code became mandatory from 1st April 2015 and requires the online publication of key spending and governance information.

The government considers that publication of the items in the code will provide the local electorate and rate payers a clear picture of the activities of these smaller authorities.

Below are the financial documents relating to Westbury Parish Council.
