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 If a paper is unpublished we print NOT PRINTED — not a guess.

Plain money
City totals live on the council desk. They are not a ward budget.
No public paper we hold names an electoral-ward £ pot for this council. City totals on Investigate are not a split onto the wards. Blank is not zero.
Adult Disability Payment
6,595 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 deskChildren 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.
