Salford Council's Purchase Card Spending: Transparency Concerns
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Residents in Salford call for transparency in councils purchase card spending, as reports reveal senior officials using cards for expenses like taxis and hotels, bypassing the usual expense system. Mayor Dennetts travel expenses listed as zero, but over £14,000 spent on purchase cards in the last two years. Council refuses to share data from before 2023, eroding public trust during a cost-of-living crisis. Council defends use of cards for efficiencies and savings, emphasizing strict financial controls and external audits.
