Nottingham City Council has responded to a legal notice issued by its auditor Grant Thornton
The company inspecting Nottingham City Council's accounts say some elected members "may not have fully grasped" the severity of its financial crisis. A report has been issued by Grant Thornton calling for "fundamental change" to how Nottingham City Council operates after it effectively declared bankruptcy last year.
Nottingham City Council has responded to the legal notice by saying that it recognises the "urgency" needed to find further savings. Although recent Government support effectively filled the council's financial hole for the coming year, its overall budget gap until 2028 was previously estimated at £172 million.
The authority has therefore confirmed that it will be proposing further cuts on top of those already planned and will provide an update on this in June. Savings already planned range from the cutting of hundreds of jobs to the closure of care homes and parks. Grant Thornton has warned that it may need to consider such further steps if the council does not address its current issues. The company's report says: "Fundamental change to the council's operating base is required to ensure that it is on a firm financial footing and can live within the resources available to be deployed. The council will need to both transform the way in which it delivers its services and what it is able to deliver.
