Calls to save Broadmarsh vision amid fears over commissioners' likely arrival at city council
Calls are being made to protect Nottingham's vision for Broadmarsh which could "turn the city's fortunes around" after plans were lodged for commissioners to be appointed by the government at Nottingham City Council. Council leader David Mellen has admitted it is likely the commissioners will be sent in to oversee the authority's finances and try to balance the books.
Mr Nugent has worked on major projects, notably acting as director of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee, and has stressed how important the next two years are for the historic hub of the city. He said: "It would be my personal view as someone who has chaired work on Broadmarsh, that what we need to do as an entire city is we would need to impress upon the commissioners just how much of a unique opportunity the city has with Broadmarsh.
So far a new vision has been thought up, with the help of world-renown urban designer Thomas Heatherwick and his studio, revealing plans for 700 new apartments, a hotel, a new entrance to the caves and a green area known as Lister Square. The project is undoubtedly one of the most important Nottingham has ever faced, shaping the face of the city for years to come.
