Starting in 2016, works to redevelop the Broadmarsh area started. First came the plans of what to do and the budget of £250 million was given. This was just for the shopping centre alone. After this, in late 2017, the old Broadmarsh car park was demolished and in 2018 the bridge connecting the car park and the shopping centre was demolished also. Now in 2019 the construction of the new car park has begun, with the feature of new shops and facilities too.
The plan for the new Broadmarsh is to create a modern social place for people to relax and shop at all throughout the day and the evening. Some of the new shops to open in Broadmarsh are things like a bowling alley, a 9-screen cinema and a handful of new restaurants that will give the new Broadmarsh a sense of community. There are a lot of people who think that the redevelopment of the Broadmarsh is long overdue and are excited to see what it entails. As am I. For as long as I can remember, I always used to go to the Victoria centre over Broadmarsh. In my opinion Broadmarsh lives in the Victoria Centre’s shadow, and I believe that this redevelopment will give it another chance to be used by the public.
I am interested to see what shops will be included as after a while the shops that we have become boring as we have been to them for so long. It will be nice to have a whole set of shops for us to explore. What do you think about the new development? Let us know your thoughts. Is this what Nottingham really needs?
