The long-awaited creation of a welcoming entrance to the city from the south will begin in early August 2020, with new images showing the scale of change the public can look forward to.
The exciting new green, pedestrian-friendly public space for the city centre – involving the most significant changes to a city centre road layout for 15 years – is being funded through the Government’s Transforming Cities Fund, approved by Nottingham City Council’s Executive Board last week for Nottingham and Derby and D2N2, the Local Enterprise Partnership.
Councillor David Mellen, Leader of the City Council, said: “We have heard what people have said about wanting more greenery in the city centre and have committed to this with green space proposals throughout Carrington Street, Collin Street and Middle Hill, and a beautiful new space between the Sussex Street entrance to intu Broadmarsh and the new Nottingham College site and less traffic in the area contributing to a more pleasant and healthier environment. I am pleased these plans have attracted the Government’s backing from its Transforming Cities Fund. Our plans for the entire Broadmarsh area kickstarted our £2 billion ambitions for the Southside area, with new developments underway or forthcoming at Unity Square, City Buildings, the Island Quarter and at Broadmarsh West.
