Yet the July general election and change of government means the project has been plunged into uncertainty. Work has been on hold and Nottinghamshire County Council's leader has repeatedly asked for the same funding commitment to be made. "If it doesn't start now, it doesn't start until the spring. That's a year's delay, that's two million quid we've got to find.
