Financial data

In 2015, the Government issued a Local Government Transparency Code to place more power into citizens' hands to increase democratic accountability. They wanted to make it easier for local people to contribute to the local decision making process and help shape public services.

Transparency is the foundation of local accountability and the key that gives people the tools and information they need to enable them to play a bigger role in society. The availability of data can also open new markets for local business, the voluntary and community sectors, and social enterprises to run services or manage public assets.

In 2000, the Freedom of Information Act was introduced to enable public access to information held by public authorities.

On this page, there are links to the financial related requirements of the code and information commonly requested under Freedom of Information.

The Community Leadership Fund enables city councillors to support schemes, projects and activities that will have a positive impact within their wards. We have allocated each of our 60 councillors £1,000 to spend each financial year on community projects within their ward.

We publish datasets on our parking accounts and parking spaces. These detail income and expenditure across Peterborough, including pay and display, residents' parking, and penalty charge notices.

We publish monthly details of the payments we have made to external bodies and suppliers, and all credit notes.

To ensure the privacy of individuals and confidentiality, some payments we have made may not be listed or only provided in part (this is known as redacted data).

In the spending data we publish, there may be multiple lines for each transaction number. This is because the value of an invoice may be allocated to several different cost centres and account codes.

We publish annually details on the salaries of our senior staff by job title and pay band. There is no requirement to publish names of staff in posts other than the Corporate Management Team.
