Council actively seeking external funding to bring a £20 million investment to Eastwood for a health and wellbeing hub
 Together with NHS and community partners, we have developed plans for the centre on the former library site on Walker Street, aiming to bring together health, wellbeing, advice, and support services to the heart of Eastwood.
Council Leader, Councillor Milan Radulovic MBE, recently met with Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward, alongside members of Broxtowe’s Economic Development Team in Eastwood to discuss the need for such a facility in the town.
