Transforming the area Investing £250m to transform this part of the city

BUILDING A BETTER

Proud Ambitious Nottingham is a city which is evolving and the City Council is determined to make sure it compares with the very best cities in Europe.

The Broadmarsh area is in need of investment. The shopping centre, Broadmarsh car park and bus station, which were all built in the 1970s and are at the heart of this part of the city, are looking tired and need new life breathing into them. The area can be uninviting and unwelcoming for people arriving by train or by bus, with little night life in the evenings. The current layout of the road system prevents shoppers and pedestrians from moving freely and is choking the area; stifling the ability for the city centre to grow. If we want to continue to attract shoppers and visitors to Nottingham, and remain one of the best cities in the country to shop, then the Broadmarsh area must be regenerated and the city centre needs to expand southwards and become an attractive location for new investment. That’s why there are plans to invest £250m to transform the area over the next four years through a coordinated and staged programme of improvements.

The plans include:

• Redevelopment of the shopping centre by • The creation of a new public space on Collin Street. to create a modern destination for customers to • The pedestrianisation of (upper) Carrington Street, shop, eat, relax and socialise throughout the day between the new public space on Collin Street and evening; including the introduction of a cinema and Canal Street. complex. • The creation of a brand new flagship Skills Hub for • The transformation of the Broadmarsh car park the city by New College Nottingham and Central building to modernise parking facilities, the College Nottingham to the east of Middle Hill, which bus station and create new cafés and retail will serve nearly 20,000 students. opportunities which spill out onto Collin Street and Carrington Street. • Linking this part of the city to Nottingham which will be transformed into a world-class destination, hosting 400,000 visitors annually. These developments, which collectively represent a £250m investment in the city, are expected to boost the local economy by over £1billion a year, create nearly 3,000 jobs for local people and attract an extra three million people a year to the city, bringing with them an estimated £25m increase in spending.

The Broadmarsh area in 2020 will be a very The glue which combines all of these exciting opportunities is much improved destination.
