Nottingham City Council has avoided the step of commissioners being called in to run the Labour-run authority - but the Government still has 'great concern' over £15m unlawful payments.
Several financial issues have led the city council to be placed under the watchful eye of a Government improvement board.
The release of the fourth report from the Improvement and Assurance Board, which was introduced to assess what extent improvements were being made to improve its finances and governance, has shown that the authority has avoided the step of commissioners being called in to run the council.
