As part of the government's 'Levelling Up' fund, Nottinghamshire County Council is preparing a bid worth approximately £40m to fund the planned Toton Link Road.

It is expected that the Toton Link Road will encourage jobs, housing and business growth and make a significant contribution to Nottinghamshire's economic growth. 

Pre-construction work is already underway on the link road, but it is hoped that the Levelling Up Fund will lead to the government fully financing it.
