The councillor now in charge of finances at Nottingham City Council was a director of two companies that owed around £165,000 after going bust last year. Following Labour's success at the local elections in Nottingham on May 4, the party chose to elect David Mellen as their leader again for the next four years.
Audra Wynter replaced Adele Williams as the council's deputy leader and was also chosen to be the portfolio holder for finance. Announcing its top leadership team earlier this month, Nottingham Labour said: "With a background in finance work, Councillor Wynter will ensure the council remains on track in delivering a balanced budget."
But questions have now been raised by opposition councillors about Companies House records showing the financial situation of two companies that Councillor Wynter was involved in. The companies, named Wyncare and Wynspire, both operated in the care sector and Councillor Wynter was a director of both of them.
