Martin Rosenbaum | 14:47 UK time, Monday, 3 July 2006

If you want to find out more about the details of a local authority's finances, it's worth reading the recent post on council spending on , author of 'Your Right to Know'.

She's correct about the power of this obscure 'right to know' provision of the Audit Commission Act. As someone who has used it in the past, I can confirm it meets with bafflement on the part of many council employees.

But now that they have to abide by freedom of information generally, perhaps that will start to change? Perhaps councils will even start giving some more publicity to it.
