In accordance with the accounting records for the financial year ending 31 March 2022, (which includes all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers, receipts and other documents relating to those records) were made available for inspection by any person interested, during a period of 30 working days set by the smaller authority which must include the first 10 working days of July 2022.
