The Transparency Code for Smaller Authorities

This code was issued to meet the Government’s desire to place more power into citizens’ hands to increase democratic accountability.

It applies to the following types of authorities with an annual turnover not exceeding £25,000:

parish councils
internal drainage boards
charter trustees
port health authorities

The code is mandatory from 1 April 2015 and requires the online publication of key spending and governance information on the occasions specified in the Code.

Woodbastwick Parish Council publishes its Annual Returns and accounts at year end in line with the Transparency Code on this website.  If you have any queries on Parish Council spending, please use the contact form or contact your local Parish Councillor.
