An auditor has found that 12 houses owned by Nottingham City Council were used as children's homes contrary to legislation
Illegal activity involving the use of Nottingham council houses as children's homes has been uncovered by an auditor. According to Grant Thornton, which has been reviewing Nottingham City Council's yearly accounts, 12 houses owned by the authority under its Housing Revenue Account were used as children's homes contrary to legislation.
"Officers inform us this was largely corrected during 2022/23, with most of the homes being transferred to the General Fund." For this reason these properties were then appropriated to the General Fund in order to regularise the arrangement and make sure the rules were properly adhered with."
