Nottingham City Council has been given a list of 67 things to do by the end of November to avoid further Government intervention at the authority. The council recently avoided Government commissioners being sent in to run it following problems - including £40m being misspent and the collapse of Robin Hood Energy.
An Improvement and Assurance Board (IAB) was instead given more powers in overseeing improvements being made at the council. As part of this, Councillor David Mellen says that a list of 67 'requirements' has been presented which need to be fulfilled by the end of next month, centred around areas including governance and working practices.
Speaking at a meeting of the council's overview and scrutiny committee on Wednesday (October 12), Councillor Mellen said: "When we were issued with the list of 67 requirements it was very much 'oh my goodness how can we possibly do 67 things by the end of November'."
