It's not looking great down that end of town
Shoppers have expressed hopes that a 'miserable' street will be made 'more attractive' by progress at Broadmarsh. Lister Gate in Nottingham city centre has been left barren after a series of shop closures, including Marks and Spencer, Pret and WHSmith.
"It will be good to have an open air way into the city again from the Meadows. It's a shame what has happened to this street as there are some lovely building going to waste." Terry Pitman, 68, an embroider who has recently moved to Mansfield and was visiting Nottingham city centre for the first time, said: "It is a bit dead down here isn't it.
East Midlands Chamber chief executive Scott Knowles said: “The direct impact of the pandemic on bricks-and-mortar retail is visible in many cities across the country, and in Nottingham the industry’s struggles have been exacerbated by interrupted development of the former Broadmarsh Centre.
“If local authorities, landlords and businesses can work together effectively, there may be opportunities to offer flexible short-term leases to small businesses that would thrive by moving into a prime location. This brings more customers to the area, giving other companies the confidence to return and ultimately becomes a win-win scenario for everyone involved.”
