Contracts and procurement
Ask whether major contracts are delivering value, being managed properly and reported clearly.
Defending every local pound
Bury DOGE
A straightforward local spending watch: follow the money, challenge waste and explain council decisions in plain English.
Why it matters
Public money needs public accountability
Residents are expected to pay more while too many everyday services feel under pressure. Reform councillors will use scrutiny, questions and published council records to test whether spending delivers real value.
This page will turn complex reports into understandable updates and clearly distinguish confirmed figures from political opinion.
Council assets and property
Track decisions about public buildings and land, including the long-term impact on communities.
Consultants and senior costs
Question avoidable external spending and make sure senior costs are open to public scrutiny.
Frontline value
Keep the focus on services residents actually use, from clean streets to roads and neighbourhood support.
Primary sources
Check the records yourself
Council agendas, decisions and financial reports should be the starting point for any claim about local spending.
