The continued development of Nottingham's Broad Marsh and a major new £40 million road are among the projects which could be coming to Nottinghamshire as councils await crucial funding decisions this month. All of Nottinghamshire's local authorities made bids last summer to receive money from the second round of the Government's levelling up fund.
The fund was one of several initiatives announced by the Government as part of its stated ambition when elected in 2019 to 'level up' the UK's deprived areas. Successful councils in the first round of the levelling up fund, which the Government has committed £4.8 billion to altogether, were announced in December 2021.
Newark and Sherwood was the only successful council during the first round. A decision on the second round was initially due in October, but this had to be put back after the deadline to apply was extended.
