Newark and Sherwood District Council is excited to announce the next phase in shaping Newark’s town centre, unveiling the Newark Town Centre Masterplan.

Work on transforming the former M&S building at 32 Stodman Street is making great progress with a completion date on the horizon in 2026. As one of the flagship initiatives led by Newark and Sherwood District Council and the Newark Town Board, this project is set to revitalise the town centre. Backed by the UK Government’s ‘Local Regeneration Fund,’ the scheme is making real headway.

Rural businesses and community organisations across Newark and Sherwood have received a share of more than £267,000 through the latest round of a locally developed rural grant scheme.

On Tuesday 24 February 2026, Newark and Sherwood District Council’s Cabinet will debate and seek Cabinet approval on its draft budget for 2026/27. The Council’s proposed budget is an ambitious, forward‑looking financial plan that protects vital local services, invests in communities, and maintains strong financial resilience during a period of national change with Local Government Reorganisation.
