If providing all years would exceed the appropriate cost limit, please provide figures from as many of the most recent financial years as possible, starting with the most recent financial year. If time allows, please ensure to break this down by the amount received per scheme.

2. Expenditure
For each financial year since 2019/20, how much from each source of funding has been spent by your authority, and on what (for example: chargepoints installed, staff, planning, etc).
