SELLING off fields has raised more than £4 million for Nottingham City Council in the last three years, figures have revealed.
The authority has sold off three fields since 2010 with the biggest sale being for land off Spring Lane in Mapperley, which brought in £4,076,058.
The figures were released under the Freedom of Information Act.
A further two sales – land to the rear of Coventry Court in Cinderhill and land adjacent to 18 Park Crescent in Wollaton – netted the council £49,500.
All three were snapped up by private companies with the Mapperley site being used for housing.
