The open books
£0 raised across 215 wards
Every ward has one sponsor slot. It opens at £1 and doubles each time it changes hands. This page is the whole ledger: what each ward has raised, who holds its slot now, and what the next one costs. There is no version of this page with more detail that only we can see.
Biggest sponsors
Ranked by what the current holder paid. Holding a ward costs double what the last holder paid for it.

How the price works
The opening price is £1. Every time a ward changes sponsor the price doubles: £1, £2, £4, £8, £16. The number is a pure function of that ward's history, so you can always check what you are being asked for. Money buys the slot and never more of it — never a second card, never a bigger one, never a better placed one — and every penny is ring-fenced to the ward that raised it.
