Rushcliffe Borough Council's leader says the City Ground extension will be 'huge' for the city
A council leader has hailed the major economic boost the expansion of Nottingham Forest's City Ground is expected to bring to the area.Council research predicts the project could add £800m more to the local economy over the first decade.
Up to 253 jobs could be created locally within the construction phase, while the club expects an additional 100 in-house jobs to be created. Local Green Party councillor, Richard Mallender has called for a "no fan parking" policy to be implemented on streets in nearby West Bridgford and Lady Bay."We want to see Forest stay up and do well in the Premier League but there's been a lot of concern within the community about the impact on parking.
