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 If a paper is unpublished we print NOT PRINTED — not a guess.

Plain money
2025/26 net £2.13bn. 2024/25 overspend £45.7m. Usable reserves stock £194m at 31 March 2025.
A printed ward pot is not a ward budget. City totals stay on Investigate.
Adult Disability Payment
75,685 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.

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.
