Notice of Delay to the Publication of the Audited Statement of Accounts 2021 - 2022

The Council hereby gives notice of a delay to the publication of audited Statement of Accounts 2021 to 2022. The delay has been caused by previous financial years’ Financial Statements remaining unaudited.

Notice of Delay to the Publication of the Audited Statement of Accounts 2020 - 2021

The Council hereby gives notice of a delay to the publication of audited Statement of Accounts 2020 to 2021. The delay has been caused by the requirement to address areas for development that were raised during the 2019 to 2020 audit and competing demands on staff resources, due in part to the continued financial reporting requirements relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
