Under the Audit Commission Act 1998 any persons interested may inspect the 2011/12 accounts to be audited and all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers and receipts relating to them and make copies of all or any part of the accounts and those other documents.
The accounts must be placed on deposit for a period of 20 working days (four weeks) to allow any persons the opportunity to exercise these rights. The council is required to advertise in a local newspaper giving the dates, times and places where the public can see and copy documents at least 14 days before they are placed on deposit.
You do not have the right to inspect and copy documents that contain personal information about a member of staff. This means that details of payments or other benefits that a council employee receives will be confidential.
The dates for 2012 will be made clear on this website and in the local press when these accounts can be checked by the public.
