The Conservatives say they would try and prevent "financial incompetence" at Nottingham City Council if they were able to form a strong opposition after May's election. The party has released its manifesto ahead of voters in Nottingham choosing their councillors for the next four years on May 4.
The Conservative manifesto this year is one-and-a-half pages long, in contrast to the 18 pages of policies released in 2019. The party also seems to be fighting the election with the ambition of forming an opposition group, rather than having enough councillors to take control from Labour and lead Nottingham City Council.
That is despite 41 Conservative candidates standing in May, well above the 28 members needed to lead the city council. It is also once again in contrast to the 2019 manifesto, which repeatedly said the Conservatives wanted to lead Nottingham.
