LCC Spending Data

What is it?

Liverpool City Council report on, and provide details for, invoices over £500 made for the supply of goods and services.

In the council's own words:

This is so that you know where your money is being spent, and for better scrutiny of spending.

This tool attempts to aggregate and show the data in a more useful format for those that don't like wrangling XLS/CSV files.
