 Mistakes have been made, but changes are being made |
A lifeline has been thrown to North East Lincolnshire Council, which is facing the worst financial crisis of its history. In a unique move the Deputy Prime Minister's office has confirmed the authority will get a grant of between �4m and �5m to help modernise it.
It follows damning criticism of the authority by the government last year.
Plans include 15 targets to turn the council around including a possible move to new headquarters.
Proposals unveiled in June confirmed a reorganisation which will lead to 170 job cuts.
It followed an audit commission report describing financial management of the council was "weak".
The authority has had to borrow �12m to pay for day-to-day services.
