A Nottingham MP says it is "dreadful" the Government has again delayed a decision on whether it will provide £20 million towards redeveloping the Broad Marsh. Nottingham City Council submitted a levelling-up fund bid totalling £57 million in the summer, with other projects including a regeneration of Bulwell's town centre.
The levelling-up fund is intended to help communities across the UK and Nottingham City Council missed out on its original £20 million Broad Marsh bid in the fund's first round last year. A decision on its second attempt was initially due in October, but this had to be put back after the deadline to apply was extended.
Rishi Sunak then promised decisions would be announced by the end of this year when he took over as Prime Minister. But a spokesperson for Nottingham City Council says the authority has been told the decision has been delayed again.
