It is extremely disappointing that local authorities no longer can be bothered to produce a booklet sent out with the council tax assessments telling us how they spend our money. The following links are the ones given on the council tax documents to enable you to view this information. They are frequently not easy to follow--you have been warned.
These are currently for the 2021-2022 financial year.
