Staffing 

From 1 November 2017, most Cotswold District Council staff transferred to Publica Group Ltd who now provide services on the Council’s behalf. A small number of staff continue to be employed by the Council and details of the senior management structure can be downloaded below.

Publica Group Ltd is a local authority owned company created by Cheltenham Borough, Cotswold, Forest of Dean and West Oxfordshire District Councils. Its purpose is to transform the way local services are delivered to communities through innovation and to set the standard for all councils in the future.

Guidance on the monthly expenditure data

The government's transparency programme aims to hold public bodies to account, deliver better value for money in public spending and help cut the record deficit. As part of the programme, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government requested that all local Councils publish details of all their supplier spending over £500.

Councils are required to publish data in CSV files, on a monthly basis, no later than 30 days after the month end. Details for our expenditure, by month, are available below.

From August 2012 we have chosen to publish details of all payments, not only those of £500 or more.

If you have any questions, please email them and the payment number to:

• the Transparency team
