The leader of Nottingham City Council has responded to Nottinghamshire Live's call for change after further revelations of serious financial mismanagement were revealed. The city had first been alerted to significant failings at the Labour-run authority after the collapse of Robin Hood Energy in 2020, with millions in taxpayer cash thrown at the project. However, recent investigations have uncovered much more.
Yet despite the council's failings being brought to light in recent days David Mellen, leader of Nottingham City Council, has said that he has instructed a number of reviews and investigations to take place to "put right historical financial issues."
In an emailed response to a story written by NottinghamshireLive, Mr Mellen wrote: "I’m proud to be the Leader of Nottingham City Council and to represent the interests of people right across our great city. It is a privilege every day to work in public service on behalf of all Nottingham people.
