Millom Town Council
Millom Town Council was formed in 1974 when the parish boundaries changed from Cumberland.
The Government has published ‘The Code of Recommended Practice for Local Authorities on Data Transparency’1 which requires Parish/Town Councils which have a gross annual income or expenditure (whichever is the higher) of at least £200,000 to publish ‘Public Data’. The Government has implemented this Code of Practice for local authorities to provide greater transparency of public bodies, which is at the heart of their mandate to enable greater democratic accountability over how council tax and public money is spent. However, Public Data does not include personal information as this would contravene the Data Protection Act 1998. In accordance with the Code of Recommended Practice Millom Town Council (MTC) makes the following information:
From time to time there is a requirement to commit expenditure where no budget exists. All such payments are published on the Council’s website in accordance with The Openness of Local Government Bodies Regulations 2014 and is reported members.
