Burnley Council spending, 2023/24
Every payment of £500 or more that Burnley Borough Council made between April 2023 and March 2024, taken straight from the council's four published quarterly spreadsheets and made searchable. The methodology is shared with the 2025/26 analysis, and you can compare with 2024/25 and 2025/26.
Where it went
This was the peak of the town-centre regeneration programme: at £51.40m it is the highest of the three years published here, and capital investment (£30.67m) far outweighed day-to-day revenue spending (£19.98m). Spending has fallen each year since, to £44.10m in 2024/25 and £38.06m in 2025/26. The council's own classifications.

The source
Every figure here is the council's own published data, nothing added or reclassified. Source files, downloaded direct from Burnley Borough Council: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, all listed on the council's council spending page. This is payments over £500 only: it excludes wages, sub-£500 payments and housing benefit, so it is not the council's whole budget. It also excludes the separate purchase-card feed (£116,884 across 1,437 small payments) and the contracts feed (£30.25m of orders raised), which are not added in here to avoid double-counting. A small number of payments (£0.7m across 7 lines) carry no capital-or-revenue tag in the source and show as "Unclassified".
