Nottinghamshire County Council has set out the buildings it will prioritise for major repairs and upgrades this year amid a maintenance backlog of at least £100 million. The authority has recently approved projects at 14 of its buildings across Nottinghamshire, with problems prioritised being those that could "cause closure of buildings or disruption to services".
Removing asbestos, upgrading heating systems and replacing roof tiles are among the works that will be carried out. The buildings chosen include five children's centres, four youth centres, four libraries and a car park.
The 14 projects will cost an estimated £4.5 million, with the most expensive work being carried out at Sutton in Ashfield's library. £2 million of work there will include replacing lifts, refurbishing all electrical systems and installing new energy-efficient lighting.
