This strategy will align to the council's customer strategy which is fundamental in the understanding of our customer and business needs that will shape the way we deliver our services as a commissioning-led council.

Notes on the above data
There may be inaccuracies in the data which would only be become apparent on review of individual accounts. For example, our finance system does not identify periods where an invoice has been in dispute, or on hold. Therefore, the above interest value may be overstated.
