EXPLAINED: Unison criticizes undemocratic plans for commissioners to be placed into nottingham city council | Vintage Vibes

Nottingham City Council Unison Nottingham

A union has labelled plans to bring commissioners into Nottingham City Council as "undemocratic". It was revealed last week that the government is planning to send in commissioners to take control of the authority's finances.

The city council is already being monitored by a Government -appointed board, chaired by Sir Tony Redmond, after the collapse of Robin Hood Energy in January 2020 and further misspending was idenitifed in May 2022. Nottingham City Council leader David Mellen has stated he feels the decision was not necessary and that he is "deeply disappointed" with it - the council has until July 7 to officially respond to the announcement.

Unison is a public service union with more than 1.3 million members across the country, including in Nottingham. A spokesperson has stated that council services should be delivered by those working in the city to "deliver in the best interests of the citizens of Nottingham."
