People in Arnold have welcomed a £50 million bid to rejuvenate the town centre. Gedling Borough Council announced that it would apply for the cash from the Government's 'Levelling Up' funding last month.
It said the money would go directly to improve Arnold town centre, including the construction of a new leisure centre, library and park. Carol Chamberlain, who lives in the town, said it was "about time".
"Hopefully they will sort the problems at weekends when people are getting drunk and causing trouble, because it's terrible," said the 72 year old.
