Spending in 2025/26
Records held for 2023/24 to 2026/27, of which 2 complete financial years. Figures shown are for 2025/26, the most recent year held in full.
How this figure was checked
Its total is checked against this council's published revenue account budget. The check is made after money this body passes to other councils, police and fire authorities, and to central government as the business rates share, has been taken out: a precept, a levy or a rates share is collected on another authority's behalf rather than spent here. Payments to the health service, to colleges, to pension funds and to HM Revenue and Customs are not taken out, because those are things this body bought or owed. Both figures are shown.
What Forest of Dean Council publishes above its threshold is a part of what it spends, not all of it. Wages and payments below the threshold are not in it.
Who Forest of Dean Council paid in 2025/26
Payments to named individuals are counted in the total above but never listed here. A linked supplier has a page of its own showing what every public body this site holds published about paying it, which is a lower bound and never a total.
