Open the linked disclosureThe request covered 1 April 2023 to July 2026, but only 2025/26 was supplied. Missing:
The council did not clearly state whether these records were not held or exempt.
The spreadsheet does not contain the requested date-awarded field.
The council supplied cost-centre labels instead of specific descriptions of what each recipient was funded to deliver.
Applications, business cases, scoring documents, decision records and funding agreements for grants exceeding £10,000 were refused under Section 12.
The council refused to provide a list of grant funding recovered or subject to repayment.
Monitoring, performance and compliance information for grants exceeding £25,000 was refused under Section 12.
The council linked to a general Audit Committee page instead of identifying the reports relevant to grant funding, subsidy control, financial governance or grant assurance.
Approximately 95.2% of the disclosed value is contained in individual entries exceeding £10,000. Approximately 91.3% is contained in entries exceeding £25,000.
The council said it would need to manually search thousands of records across departments and officers. It said the information was not held in a reportable format and meaningful refinement did not appear possible.
These figures describe the shape of the disclosed spending only. Nothing here indicates that any amount was improperly administered.

Internal review request — FOI-216559-2026 Dear Information Governance Team, I am requesting an internal review of your response dated 17 August 2026 to my request FOI-216559-2026 concerning grants and external funding. My request covered 1 April 2023 to July 2026. The spreadsheet supplied covers 2025/26 only. Please review the following points: 1. Failure to provide the complete requested period of 1 April 2023 to July 2026. 2. Failure to state whether records for the missing years are held or exempt. 3. Omission of the requested date-awarded field. 4. Failure to provide detailed purposes rather than cost-centre labels. 5. Lack of a documented Section 12 cost estimate. 6. Failure to offer meaningful refinement of the request. 7. Whether questions 2, 3 and 4 were improperly aggregated for the purposes of Section 12. 8. Whether existing lists or registers could be disclosed as held. 9. Whether documents for a limited sample of the largest awards could be supplied. 10. Failure to identify the audit reports relevant to grant funding and grant assurance. In particular, please confirm whether equivalent spreadsheets for 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2026/27 to date are held, and if so disclose them. Please also provide the calculation underlying your Section 12 estimate, and confirm whether a refined request limited to the largest non-nursery awards could be answered within the appropriate limit. I look forward to your response within 20 working days. Yours faithfully,
The council's response of 17 August 2026, setting out what was disclosed and where Section 12 was applied.
