Nottingham City Council leaders express confidence in reaching financial stability by 2026, marking the end of government intervention. The Labour-run authority, under the guidance of commissioners, aims to implement an improvement plan that addresses financial challenges.
Nottingham City Council ’s leadership is “confident” it is on track to deliver the required improvements to be free of Government-backed intervention in 2026. The Labour-run authority declared itself effectively bankrupt in November, and it is now being overseen by a team of three commissioners led by Tony McArdle.
During a Corporate Scrutiny Committee meeting on Wednesday , the council’s leadership said while the authority remains in “crisis mode”, it is where it needs to be in its plan. Committee members said they “touched wood” during the meeting when the 2026 departure of commissioners was suggested.
“The Improvement Plan needs to be viewed as the roadmap for the council achieving a position of being financially sustainable, which is where we need to be if we want to see commissioners gone. If we do everything we need to do in that Improvement Plan then we will achieve that and I think the leadership is confident we will be able to do that.
The plan sets out how the council can implement the required improvements by March 2026, when the commissioners are expected to depart. Progress will be reviewed every two months by a ‘Transformation, Change and Oversight board’, on which sits Cllr Radford and the new Chief Executive, Sajeeda Rose.
