Annual Budget for publicity/producing forms for public

Dear Mr Williams,
Please see below the response to your FOI enquiry.

"Section 5 of the Local Government Act 1986 requires local authorities
to keep a separate account of expenditure on publicity, which is defined
as “any communications, in whatever form, addressed to the public at
large or to a section of the public”. In 2008/09 the Council spent
£418,635 (£389,585 in 2007/08) on Advertising and Publicity. £192,799
(£173,084 in 2007/08) related to advertising for staff, £225,836
(£216,501 in 2007/08) was spent on other advertising and publicity
including publishing statutory notices in connection with Highway and
Planning matters."

As noted in the Statement of Accounts -

I hope that this information will be of assistance.
