Request

I would like the details of expenses claimed by your council’s chief executive. 

I would like the expenses claimed from 31st August 2023 to 31st August 2024 (inclusive). If your current chief executive was in not in post at the time, please supply the claims from the then-chief executive. 

I would like the following details:

> the date of the expense

> what was the monetary value

> a description of what it was, e.g. "business dinner for six people". If no description of the reason for the expense is available, a simple description of what was paid for will suffice, e.g. "business class flight", "uber taxi". 

I would also request copies of the receipts of each expense, where a receipt was filed. I do not need the original documents.
