又一城市宣告破产!
当地时间11月29日,据多家英国媒体报道,英国英格兰中部城市诺丁汉市政委员会宣布该市已事实性破产,并根据《1988年地方政府财政法》第114条发布了报告。这意味着该市将停止法律规定的服务之外的所有支出。
Nottingham City Council has declared itself effectively bankrupt, meaning it will stop all spending other than services it must provide by law.
A recent report said the Labour-run council was set for a £23m overspend in the 2023-24 financial year. The council's chief finance officer said the authority was unable to deliver a balanced budget.
事实上,除了诺丁汉外,今年9月以来,英国的伯明翰市、克里登市也宣布了破产的消息,原因均为公共服务开支过大。
He said it was "not the government's job to bail out the council for its financial mismanagement".
