none-held. No printed day+month+year civic sitting names a ward here. Missing is not zero — we did not invent one.

Accounts, audit, and the organisations the council pays. City totals stay here — they are not your ward's budget.

Council desk

This council in one sitting

Latest signed accounts and the external auditor live on Investigate. City totals stay there. Ward doors only get a figure when the paper names the electoral ward.

Latest signed papers

Annual accounts and the Annual Audit Report. IAR is not the AAR. If a paper is unpublished we print NOT PRINTED — not a guess.

Ten-year audit series · 10/10 published

Usable reserves stock only. Blank years are not published — never zero. Awards are not payments.

Official doors

Plain money

City totals live on the council desk. They are not a ward budget.

Named electoral-ward £ live on the ward doors (9 of 9). City totals on this desk stay here — they are not a split onto the other wards. Missing is not zero.

Adult Disability Payment

15,425 people in receipt on 31 January 2026 — a council total, not a ward split. Residual DWP PIP on some ward health pages is a different stock.

See the council desk

Children and schools

Scotland pupil census, EAL and placing-request stock live on Government. This street desk does not invent a school-roll or a waiting list. Ward pages may show Census 2022 qualifications of adults — that is not pupils.
