Shop owners in Bulwell fear the town centre could "cease to exist" if a £20 million funding bid is not successful. An application was first put in during the summer for Bulwell to get some of the Government's second round of levelling up money.
Nottingham City Council placed an overall bid of £57 million, with £20 million going to the Broad Marsh and £17 million also going to Nottingham's Island Quarter. A decision on whether the three projects had been successful was initially due in October.
This date had to be put back after the deadline to apply for funding was extended. Rishi Sunak then promised decisions would be announced by the end of this year when he took over as Prime Minister.
