Nottingham city council leader David Mellon to step down


Recommended Posts

The leader of a council that recently announced it had gone effectively bankrupt is to step down in May.

David Mellen has been in charge of Nottingham City Council since 2019 but has announced he will not seek re-election as leader.

The council issued a section 114 notice in November and the government appointed commissioners to help run the authority in February.

Mr Mellen said he had given the council leadership "everything I can". 

He will continue as a councillor for the Dales ward, which he has represented since 2007.

Mr Mellen also stood as Labour's parliamentary candidate for Rushcliffe at the 2015 and 2017 general elections.
