For some time, every council has opened up its accounts – down the the last receipt and invoice – for any member of the public to inspect. This happens for one month a year and your opportunity to view Stockport’s finances in detail ends next Friday, 30th July.

From the Council:

A notice has now been published advising that until Friday, 30 July “any person interested, on application initially to Business Services Directorate, Stopford House, Piccadilly, Stockport, SK1 3XE, telephone 0161 480 4949, ext 4124, may at the appropriate offices of the Council inspect and make copies of the accounts of the Council and the residuary body for the period ended 31st March 2010 and all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers and receipts relating thereto.”

A copy of the public notice can be viewed here (pdf).
