Large numbers are hunting through council data as their local spending information goes online. The CLG’s Local Government Expenditure web page, which links to all transparent councils has had well over 100 hits a day since it was launched in September. This is growing evidence that there is an 'army of armchair auditors' out there called into action by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles. Ninety councils across the country have now made their spending information over £500 available to the public. The rest have until January to act. The Transparency map and timeline show which parts of the country have opened their books and which are lagging behind. Access the information by clicking on the CLG logo below.
