The money will be put towards repairs at 35 sites across Nottinghamshire.

The budget, passed in a 40-20 vote, will include a rise of 3.99% in the authority's council tax share.

Nottinghamshire County Council has a three-year plan - but says it needs more funding for repairs.

The council says it cannot keep absorbing costs but the opposition says it will hit the vulnerable.

Reform UK leaders say they will save millions - but their opposition say the plans are "built on sand".
