East Mids Mayor gives Notts extra £64m for roads after plea for more cash

Nottinghamshire’s roads are set for another £64 million boost after council bosses put in a special request to the East Midlands Mayor.

The council had already been allocated £47m for asset maintenance by the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) for 2026/2027, as part of Mayor Claire Ward’s boost for each of the region’s four major councils – Nottinghamshire, Nottingham, Derby and Derbyshire.

Now, after submitting a business case about why they could do with extra funds, Nottinghamshire County Council will receive even more cash, spread over the next three years.

However, the Mayor has shrugged off suggestions that the authority could get its money earlier than planned.

Police warning over remote access scam

Police are warning Gedling borough residents to be alert to fraudsters who trick victims into giving remote access to their phones or computers.

Remote access scams tend to start with a browser pop-up appearing on a potential victim’s phone or computer that warns them that their device has been infected with a virus.

It could also be a phone call from an individual claiming to be from their bank demanding they urgently need access to their device to cancel a fraudulent transaction.

The victim is then persuaded to download and connect to a remote access tool that the fraudster says is required for them to deal with the problem.

Once the imposter has gained access to the person’s mobile or computer, they can then access private banking details and steal money.
