Chief Executive expenses

Requested Tue 18 February 2025
Responded Wed 05 March 2025

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information:

I would like the details of expenses claimed by your council's chief executive.

I would like the expenses claimed from 31st August 2023 to 31st August 2024 (inclusive). If your current chief executive was in not in post at the time, please supply the claims from the then-chief executive.

I would like the following details:

a. the date of the expense

b. the monetary value

c. a description of what it was, for example, 'business dinner for six people'. If no description of the reason for the expense is available, a simple description of what was paid for will suffice, for example, 'business class flight'.

I would also request copies of the receipts of each expense, where a receipt was filed. I do not need the original documents.

I would like all expenses including those which were reimbursements, made on a company credit card, or booked internally through any admin system used by the council (for example, some businesses use a travel portal that facilitates the booking of trains and hotels).

Response

19/10/23 - £33.59 - train travel to lobby central government.

12/01/24 - £66.10 - refreshments for staff Christmas get-together.
