As stewards of public funds, Parish and Town Councils are expected to uphold the highest standards of transparency and openness. These principles are integral to all council activities.

In 2015, the Government introduced the Local Government Transparency Code, primarily targeting principal authorities and larger councils with an annual precept or turnover of at least £200,000. This applies to Rustington Parish Council.

The Government advises Parish and Town councils with an annual turnover above £200,000 to publish the following information online: Expenditures exceeding £500, procurement information, local authority land, grants, organisation chart and senior salaries.
