Request

I would like the details of expenses claimed by your council’s leader. 

I would like the expenses claimed from 31st August 2023 to 31st August 2024 (inclusive). 

I would like the following details:

> the date of the expense

> what was the monetary value

> a description of what it was, e.g. "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, e.g. "business class flight", "uber taxi".  

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).
