As part of the new government's directive all principal councils have to publish details of payments for over £500 and these are now available for each month since August 2010 on the Sevenoaks Council website.
However the December payments (289 totalling £1.1 million) show the limitations as there is little information of what the money was spent on. 4 of the top 10 (£227,000) are payments to Kent County Council, labelled "Housing - premises and grounds".
