Nottingham City Council has extended the contract of a consultant who charges more than £1,000 for one day's work.
The Labour-run authority was placed under the scrutiny of a Government-appointed Improvement and Assurances Board after Robin Hood Energy went into administration.
It has been taking steps to financially recover and balance its books ever since, with further work being done to improve what has before been described as a 'negative culture' enveloping the council.
