Nottingham City Council has avoided the appointment of commissioners after making significant progress meeting a list of 67 requirements imposed on it.
The council has been monitored by a government-appointed board since September 2020 over concerns about its financial sustainability.
According to the BBC, the government has noted the council’s good progress and that it has a “more serious sense of purpose.”
However, the responsible government minister has said he will assess whether further powers should be exercised, including the appointment of commissioners, on receipt of the monitor’s next report.
