Who won this item’s contracts since 2023

Compared with towns of the same size

25.1% of the town’s running costs goes to this item. Towns of the same size: 11.2%.

A gap this large often comes from how the town files its spending across items, or from what its intercommunal body runs, more than from its choices. Compare with care.
