More external consultants to help Nottingham City Council save money will cost the authority up to £149,000 for six weeks. The Labour-run council says it needs expertise it does not have in-house to find areas where costs can be reduced and improvements can be made.
The authority is planning the spend as part of its drive to meet the objectives of a Government-appointed improvement board.
These savings and improvements, included in the its four-year financial plan and Together for Nottingham Plan, must then be delivered and the council has a so-called ‘Strategic Delivery Partner’ to help it implement them.
