Eleven projects in the East Midlands have won some of the funding
Nottingham has missed out on millions of pounds in government funding that would have gone towards projects including the ongoing redevelopment of the Broad Marsh. Nottingham City Council bid for £57m in the second round of the Government's levelling up fund last summer, with Nottingham's Island Quarter and Bulwell town centre being the other two areas that would have benefitted from the money.
"Our Bulwell bid was a good one and what the town needs. People will be disappointed but we will bounce back and work to make these plans a reality." The Broad Marsh element of Nottingham City Council's bid, totalling £20 million, would have centred on retaining the Frame of the former shopping centre. The Frame is one of the key visions for the Broad Marsh, with the city council intending to use it as a space to "bring people together in the city for play, performance and food."
"There has been huge support for the exciting new vision for Broad Marsh we unveiled just over a year ago which was based on feedback received from the Big Conversation, the largest public engagement exercise we had ever undertaken. Work on the Green Heart, which was a key element of the vision and something many people wanted to see, will still get underway this year using national funding we have already secured.
Speaking about these two projects, Councillor Mellen added: "The Bulwell project would have helped to transform the town centre while the Island Quarter bid would have brought three derelict but landmark buildings on the site back into use. This week we started work on redeveloping Bulwell bus station which will bring some improvement to the town but clearly there was much more we wanted to do to help rejuvenate the town centre.
"The potential for the old Beales building to be developed and brought back into use has long been talked about and this money from government means these plans can finally become reality and we can get construction started."
