Nottingham City Council has asked the Government for forms of ‘exceptional financial support’ after it effectively declared itself bankrupt at the end of November last year. The Labour-run authority took the extraordinary step of issuing a Section 114 notice on Wednesday, November 29, amid a £23m budget gap in the current financial year.
Nottingham City Council has asked the Government for forms of ‘ exceptional financial support ’ after it effectively declared itself bankrupt at the end of November last year. The Labour-run authority took the extraordinary step of issuing a Section 114 notice on Wednesday, November 29, amid a £23m budget gap in the current financial year.
Chief finance officer Ross Brown said the council was unable to set a balanced budget as legally required, owing to reduced Government funding and soaring demand and costs for social care and homelessness services. The collapse of council-run Robin Hood Energy and unlawful spending from its Housing Revenue Account also left its reserves depleted. Extra financial support has now been requested for both the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years, because of a separate budget gap of £53m in the year beginning April 2024. If granted, the support will not be in the form of a Government grant. Instead it is likely to be a combination of loans and special permission to raise money from council assets and spend it on day-to-day operational cost
