Nottingham City Council: Final report published into stricken authority's finances

A final report into Nottingham City Council 's finances has stated the authority "has still not fully accepted the gravity of the situation". The report was carried out by the Improvement and Assurance Board , which was appointed three years ago by the Government.

The IAB has since been replaced by Government commissioners brought in to run the authority. A Nottingham City Council spokesperson said: “The Improvement and Assurance Board’s final report has informed the council’s work with Commissioners on the further improvements that are needed in order to build on the progress already made.”That's us for tonight, thank you for following our live blog. The morning team will be on hand for all of the latest news and weather updates tomorrow.

It states: "Strategic, corporate, divisional, financial, HR and service plans existed, but were not integrated. This lack of consistency and clarity is being addressed but recent unanticipated overspendings have distorted that picture and the integration of the plans must now be finalised. "Fundamental to the Council success in the future is a workforce culture which fully embraces its need to deliver quality and cost-effective services to the citizens, fulfilling the Best Value requirement with a clear unity of purpose demonstrated by the Council leadership. The IAB has been disappointed throughout its term of office at the pace of change in Nottingham.
