Records held for 2025/26 to 2026/27, of which 1 complete financial year. 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.

Refunds and credit notes worth £1,628,280 are taken off that figure. The value of every payment this council published, counting a refund by its size rather than subtracting it, was £23,300,071.

What Stroud 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 Stroud 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.

Publication

This card compares the rule against the spending files this site holds. It does not check this council's own page. Where the council has published since this site last read its files, this card is out of date, and telling us is one email. Tell us we are wrong .

Up to date, as held here Latest payment held here: 2026-04-02

Latest payment held here: 2026-04-02. Under paragraph 27 a payment dated 2026-04-02 should have been published by 2026-07-31. We have not confirmed whether the council has published since we last read its files.

Part 2 of the Local Government Transparency Code 2015 requires spending over £500 to be published quarterly, and not later than one month after the quarter it covers. This council publishes payments over £500, the amount paragraph 28 names.

Councils in the same place

Stroud Council is a district council. The upper-tier services in the same area, social care, schools and roads, are run by Gloucestershire County Council, which keeps separate accounts. The two are never added together on this site.

About this data
The threshold
Stroud Council publishes payments of £500 and over. Anything below that is not in the file the council published and is not in this table, so the totals here are not the council's total spending.
Net or gross
Amounts are the values in the council's own file. The totals row adds them as published, so a credit note reduces the total in the same way it reduced the council's spending. The year total shown at the top of this page is £21,671,791.
Refunds and reversals
£1,628,280 of the payments in the latest year held are credits and reversals. They are in this table as negative amounts and they reduce every total the filter produces.
What is not in the file
Staff pay, pensions and anything else a council pays without raising a supplier invoice. Payments below the threshold the council set. Money the council received. Any period the council has not published: this table holds 2025/26 to 2026/27. Part years held: 2026/27.
Payments to individuals
A public body is required to withhold the name of a private individual. Those rows read "Individual (name withheld)", they are not in the supplier filter, and they are counted in the exact record count. The name is not held here.
Coverage
