Some tenants living in homes owned by Nottingham City Homes in Aspley are not happy with work being carried out, or delays to work, on their properties. One tenant said wrong colour cupboards and tiles have been used to repair their property, another has said she has been waiting months to get solar panels fixed amid the energy crisis, and other residents said they wanted to see money which may have been misspent to have been used on repair work.
It comes as an external report claims £25m has been wrongly spent by Nottingham City Homes and Nottingham City Council. Further investigations revealed on Tuesday (April 26) Nottingham City Homes may have spent £17.158m on the wrong services between 2014/15 and 2020/21, with the City Council spending an additional £8.503m on the wrong services in that same timeframe, according to an external review.
But Nottingham City Homes has hit back, saying it has not wrongly spent £17.158m, and that the money is available in the correct account, which is a fund to carry out work on homes. Nottingham City Homes is a City Council owned company, responsible for council housing in Nottingham, and the company says it has acted in "full transparency and accountability to the council throughout".
