Transparency Code 2015

The Local Government Transparency Code 2015 came into effect on 1 April 2015.

The code is issued by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in exercise of powers under section 2 of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980, and replaces any previous codes issued in relation to authorities in England under those powers.

Sunningdale Parish Council complies with the requirements of the code by publishing the information on this website. Hard copies are available on request from the Parish Council office.
