Surrey Heath wants residents to know how it spends their money. This is why we publish all our expenditure every month in line with the Government's transparency agenda.

However in order to balance cost against usefulness, we only publish expenditure over £500. Any payments in respect of taxes, pensions, benefits or refunds are excluded. We also have to comply with the Data Protection Act meaning that in order to protect the identity of individuals, some personal details have to be "redacted" or removed.

So that the data can be analysed by users, we provide it not only in spreadsheet format but also as a CSV file.

Expenditure Exceeding £500
