What for

The service areas the council booked these payments to, as it names them.

What kind of money

The council's accounting categories for these payments.

The payments

Newest first. Each line links to the council's own file for that month.

Mentioned in council papers

8 council papers on our record name “Hastings Contemporary” in their text, newest first, each with the words around the name. A paper naming a supplier is not a record that a payment to it was approved there: most payments follow a contract or a decision officers take under delegated powers, which needn’t come to a committee. The match is on the whole name, without “Ltd” and the like; a paper that spells it differently is missed.

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. Back to all spending.
