A decision by a Labour council to invest in a ‘Communist energy plan’ ended up costing taxpayers millions of pounds.
Robin Hood Energy, which was established in 2015 by Nottingham City Council, set out to help people struggling with rising bills.
But the not-for-profit company ended up closing five years later, costing local taxpayers £38million and leaving 230 workers redundant.

Separately, the local authority was found in December to have ‘unlawfully’ spent over £15million from council tenants’ rents on the wrong services.
A further investigation revealed last month that another £24million may also have been wrongly spent.
