Local Government Transparency Code

Transparency

To promote openness and transparency, The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has issued the Local Government Transparency Code 2015 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.

Ward Councillors' Community Grants

Since 2021/2022 all Councillors have been allocated funds for supporting events and activities in their local communities. The grants are for community use, not for individual persons, and are allocated for the current financial year only. Unallocated funds are not carried forward into future financial years.

Ward Councillors' Allowances and Expenses

The Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) Regulations 2003 require the Council to publish information on Members' Allowances and Expenses.

Fraud

As a City Council and billing authority, the bulk of our fraud investigation work used to be in respect of housing benefit fraud but this responsibility (including relevant staff) was transferred to the DWP from 1 November 2014 as a result of the creation of the single fraud investigation service (SFIS). The Council now provides the DWP with information to assist their investigations but do not have information from them on numbers of staff involved and numbers of cases and it expects the DWP to be reporting this separately. The Council is unable to report details in respect of housing benefit fraud as it no longer holds the data.

The Council has very little fraud in other areas and therefore no longer have a specialist team dealing with fraud. The Council has clear policies in relation to anti-fraud and corruption e.g. Anti-fraud and Corruption Strategy, Whistle Blowing Policy. In the case of ad-hoc instances of ‘non housing benefit fraud’ that require investigation, our internal auditors, as a special task, undertake this.
