Newark and Sherwood District Council says it’s unable to advance until the delay is resolved
The £20m Levelling Up scheme for Ollerton and Clipstone could soon be put on hold as the Government hasn’t yet handed over any of the funding. .
It is also asking for the spending deadline of March 2026 to be pushed back by 12 months, saying this timeline would be very difficult given the delays. The letter will ask for the department to either release the £820,000 advance funding or sign the legal documents giving the council immediate access to the money.
“The team are waiting, we are ready to go and clock is ticking. There are consequences if we don’t get it by the end of July.” “I hope we get news from the government before the letter is written. We are passionate about the Levelling Up in Ollerton.”
