Nottingham City Council has edged closer to issuing a section 114 notice, after revealing it still faces a significant in-year deficit despite tightening its purse strings.

A report to the council’s executive board, published on 13 November and due to be discussed next week, reveals that the in-year deficit is now estimated at £23.3m.
