A payment records money leaving the council. It says nothing
about the supplier's work, and a large figure usually reflects a contract
whose decision is in the council's papers. Names and categories are the council's
own. If we get something wrong, we correct it in place with a note saying
what changed, and list the correction on the
about page .
