Broxtowe Borough Council Leader Milan Radulovic had said he was considering his position
A Nottinghamshire council leader has decided to stay in post after reflecting on his position due to his area being "abandoned" by the Government's Levelling Up Fund. Councillor Milan Radulovic, the Leader of Broxtowe Borough Council, previously told Nottinghamshire Live that he felt "bitter and betrayed" by the allocation of levelling up money.
In Broxtowe, despite Kimberley receiving £16.5 million from the Levelling Up Fund, Councillor Radulovic said his own area of Eastwood had been "abandoned" after being unsuccessful in its bid for £20 million. The money would have been used for projects including a new health and wellbeing hub, community centre and cycle network.
"I'm delighted for Kimberley and it will make a transformational difference there. But Eastwood has been abandoned again, it seems abandoned by Government and abandoned by Parliament. Speaking about why the funding for Eastwood was needed, Councillor Radulovic added: "The issues do not go away simply because we have been unsuccessful. The health inequalities, particularly in and around Eastwood, are stark to say the least.
