It will go towards a number of projects
Four areas of Nottinghamshire have received a combined total of around £57 million in levelling up funding from the Government after Nottingham missed out on the same amount. Nottingham City Council was the largest Nottinghamshire bid made during the second round of the Government's Levelling Up Fund.
It will also house a variety of other public sector organisations, with the DWP and Nottingham Trent University being among those who have expressed an interest in having a Mansfield base. Andy Abrahams, the Mayor of Mansfield, said: "The wait may have been agonising, but I am elated to see that we have received approval for our full bid of £20 million from the Government's Levelling Up Fund.
"Our immediate focus will be the redevelopment of the Priory Centre with new leisure facilities, encouraging people into the town centre and giving visitors a reason to stay. This builds on the recent investment in the town centre through the Bridge Skills Hub and the new Middleton's Yard development, creating a growing sense of confidence for Worksop."
