Mid Devon District Council is committed to transparency regarding expenditure associated with Local Government Reorganisation (LGR).

The Council has not identified any separate expenditure on legal services or advisory services in addition to the consultancy costs shown above.
Internal and External Spend
The expenditure identified above relates to external consultancy costs.
The Council does not separately record or monitor internal staff costs associated with Local Government Reorganisation activity. Work undertaken by Council employees forms part of their normal duties and responsibilities, and there is no specific cost centre, time-recording system, or other mechanism in place to identify or apportion staff costs attributable to this work.
As a result, the Council does not hold recorded information that would enable it to provide a quantified breakdown of internal administrative costs associated with LGR.
Grant Funding and Unrecoverable Costs
The Council has received £35,000 in grant funding to support work associated with Local Government Reorganisation.
Based on the expenditure identified to date:
| Description | Amount (£ Net) |
|---|---|
| Total expenditure | £37,032.09 |
| Grant funding received | £35,000.00 |
| Unrecoverable expenditure | £2,032.09 |
Any future expenditure incurred in excess of the available grant funding would need to be met from the Council's own resources unless additional external funding becomes available.
