The Government believes that in principle all data held and managed by local authorities should be made available to local people unless there are specific sensitivities (e.g. protecting vulnerable people or commercial and operational considerations) to doing so. The Code ensures that local people can now see and access data covering how money is spent, the use of assets, decision making and issues important to local people. The code applies to a town or parish council which has gross annual income or expenditure (whichever is the higher) exceeding \u00a3200,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Expenditure &amp;
