What happened
The 2025 English Indices of Deprivation identified several neighborhoods in Newark and Sherwood as among the top 10% most deprived in England, based on factors including income and employment. Separately, National Highways is seeking a 'design and build partner' for the Newark A46 Bypass scheme, a contract reportedly valued at £840m including VAT.
Why it matters
The tender for the Newark A46 Bypass scheme represents a significant government infrastructure investment. The contract is substantially larger than a previous £297m Skanska contract that was cancelled earlier this year.
