A decision on the funding has been pushed back again
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.
But Nottingham North's Labour and Co-operative MP, Alex Norris, said another delay to the funding decision was "dreadful" for Bulwell. Shop owners in the town all agreed the £20 million of funding was needed. "Here in Tudor Court we're very tucked away and I am actually looking at moving to a shop that's on the front. But it is lovely here and something needs to be done so that the entrance to our corner of Bulwell looks better."
"We need that here too because Bulwell has a really unique feel and I think with enough support, it could compete with Nottingham as a place for people to shop. I would personally like to see the money spent on projects like an overheard canopy for the market so that it becomes an all-weather experience.
"It's really poor to have delays when it comes to funding, particularly given the current climate when money is tight. We need central government to do better for us when it comes to giving people certainty on what is coming down the line."
