Dear Mr Preston 
 
Freedom of Information - Right of Access Request
 
I write to acknowledge your application to East Riding of Yorkshire
Council for access to information under the above Act, the details of
which are set out below.
 
Request:
I would like to request proof of where the resident’s Council Tax payments
are being spent.

1 - I am writing to request a copy of the expenditure statement for the
year 2021 to 2022. I would
like the full transactional list of all of the expenses paid by the
council. I do not require the profit
and loss spreadsheet. I do not want to see percentages but itemised proof
in pounds (£s) as to where the annual council tax is being spent.

2 - I would like to know if my council tax funds the Police Service,
Ambulance Service, waste collection and Schools.

3 - If the above services are being funded I would like to know the
percentages for each.
 
You have a right to have the existence of the information requested either
confirmed or denied unless the Council claims an Absolute Exemption. 
Officers are currently establishing whether the information requested is
held and I will write to you with the council’s response by 22 November
2024 which is 20 working days following receipt of your request.
 
If in the meantime you have any queries regarding your application please
contact the Information Governance and Feedback Team by replying to this
email.
Thank you. 
Kind regards

Dear,  East Riding of Yorkshire Council,
It would appear that the council are far from transparent when it comes to
spending tax payers hard earned money.
My only conclusion is that East Riding of Yorkshire council are corrupt
and have a lot to hide!

Yours sincerely,

Billy Preston
