Town revamp's 'new lease of life'

BULWELL residents have welcomed improvements to the town centre but say more must be done to protect it from vandals.

Councillor Ethan Radford, deputy leader of Nottingham City Council and a Bulwell ward councillor, said bus station public toilets - which will be entirely rebuilt under the scheme - will be free to use.

The council successfully bid for £19.8m from the previous government's Levelling Up Fund to regenerate the area. A consultation took place in 2022 to find out what residents wanted.

Improvements will include a revamp of Bulwell Bogs with new planting, a splash park, a refreshments kiosk, toilets and changing facilities, an upgrade to the market place with improved stalls with better access to electrical power, plus new town centre paving, seating and planting.
