Inspection of Accounts

National legislation — the Local Audit and Accountability Act (2014) and the Accounts and Audit Regulations (2015) — gives registered voters the right to inspect their local authority’s accounts, ask questions about them and object to them, during a period of 30 working days every year.

Ongoing costs associated with libraries

Despite cuts in funding from central government over a number of years, Lambeth has committed to delivering 10 libraries in the borough. After consultation with residents, some changes to Lambeth’s libraries are being made, but a library service is planned for all ten locations.

Council officials dealt with 50 requests for details relating to Lambeth libraries, during the Inspection of Accounts process. A selection of these can be accessed from the link below.
