Shuguftah Quddoos also said there were lots of reasons to be positive about Nottingham, describing the city overall as a 'mixed bag.'
The new Sheriff of Nottingham has said some areas of the city are a "dump" but that the council does not have a "bottomless pit of money" to improve them. Councillor Shuguftah Quddoos was unanimously backed to be Nottingham's new sheriff during a meeting earlier in the month.
Speaking on Sarah Julian's breakfast show, Councillor Quddoos said: "[The caller's] not wrong, there are parts of the city that absolutely are a dump. I represent a ward in the city where we have hotspots which could be better."Unfortunately, the city council doesn't have a bottomless pit of money and if we had a bottomless pit of money, we would deal with those hotspots and areas of the city that are a dump.
