Councillor Mellen said that many of the requirements were 'similar' to an existing improvement plan
Nottingham City Council has been given a list of 67 things to do by the end of November to avoid further Government intervention at the authority. The council recently avoided Government commissioners being sent in to run it following problems - including £40m being misspent and the collapse of Robin Hood Energy.
Speaking at a meeting of the council's overview and scrutiny committee on Wednesday , Councillor Mellen said: "When we were issued with the list of 67 requirements it was very much 'oh my goodness how can we possibly do 67 things by the end of November'.
Sir Tony Redmond, who is the chair of the IAB, will send a report to the Government at the end of November to update it on the progress being made. A decision will then be made again on whether commissioners need to be sent in. "We remain determined and confident in our organisation's capacity and capability to change. We are under no illusions about the size and scale of the challenge ahead of us, but working constructively with the Government, our partners, and the people of Nottingham, we are confident we can take the necessary actions, at the required pace, and to the desired quality, to deliver the fundamental changes needed.
