Transparency and open data
Transparency code
This code is issued to meet the Government’s desire to place more power into citizens’ hands to increase democratic accountability and make it easier for local people to contribute to the local decision-making process and help shape public services.
It requires the publication of the following information. We are still working on this area.
- Animal licence star rating register
