In a bid to make savings to fill £29m of the hole the council is proposing a raft of further measures
Even more staff cuts and tax hikes are being proposed as Nottingham City Council looks to bridge a £32m budget gap. .
The council has lost large sums of money in the collapse of Robin Hood Energy, roughly £38m, as well as almost £3m amid the liquidation of the Nottingham Castle Trust and around half of the £18m invested in the Broadmarsh site after shopping centre owners intu entered administration in 2020. ‘Once again we are faced with some really difficult decisions about how we balance our budget next year’
Around 60 per cent of the council’s budget now goes towards adult and children’s services amid increasing demand. On top of this will be a review of grants to community groups, community centres and cultural organisations and the withdrawing of the ‘Shopmobility’ service at the Victoria Centre, which loans out powered wheelchairs for free.
