Local Government Transparency Code
The Local Government Transparency Code 2015 requires Town and Parish councils which have a gross annual income or expenditure (whichever is higher) exceeding £200,000 to publish certain information to ensure local people can now see and access data covering; how money is spent, use of assets, decision making and issues important to local people. (This is not enforceable by law for those with a budget below £6.5m, but is regarded as best practice)
