Nottingham City Council leader David Mellen says it 'has not been the council's finest hour'
Mr Mellen said it "has not been the council's finest hour".
Mr Mellen told BBC Radio Nottingham: "This has not been the council's finest hour and I want to apologise to Notts County fans who feel that we haven't recognised their remarkable team's achievement and we want to do that. "It's not the same as having done it on Sunday or Monday, but we do want to take this time while the season's closed to recognise the achievements of our team."A city centre event was held for County's neighbours Nottingham Forest following their promotion to the Premier Leaguea 4.99% tax rise as part of a "difficult budget" for the next financial year, adding it needed to bridge a £32m gap for 2023-24.
"There is also a need to run the plans past a committee called SAGE - it's a partnership committee with the police, the fire service, emergency services - to make sure we've got those things in place. We hadn't got those things in place for Monday, which was the only day the club said they would be willing to do.
