A Nottinghamshire council leader has decided to stay in post after reflecting on his position due to his area being "abandoned" by the Government's Levelling Up Fund. Councillor Milan Radulovic, the Leader of Broxtowe Borough Council, previously told Nottinghamshire Live that he felt "bitter and betrayed" by the allocation of levelling up money.
It was announced last week that whilst Nottinghamshire had been given £57 million, several major projects missed out on funding. This included Nottingham's Broad Marsh project and town centre improvements in Bulwell.
In Broxtowe, despite Kimberley receiving £16.5 million from the Levelling Up Fund, Councillor Radulovic said his own area of Eastwood had been "abandoned" after being unsuccessful in its bid for £20 million. The money would have been used for projects including a new health and wellbeing hub, community centre and cycle network.
