Nottingham City Council has issued a statement following the closure and potential liquidation of Nottingham Castle. The site is now being handed back to the council ahead of Nottingham Castle Trust beginning the process of appointing liquidators.
The council said it is "clearly a significant blow for the city." Nottingham Castle reopened in June last year after a three-year £33million renovation.
However, despite the trust's goal for it to open as a "world-class" heritage site, the last 18 months have been marred by a number of high-profile incidents. Former chief executive Sara Blair-Manning left in August 2021, with Ms Blair-Manning taking the trust to an employment tribunal, claiming she was unfairly dismissed.
