Huge programme of improvements for town centre to begin within days

CONSTRUCTION work on a £20m programme of improvements for Bulwell town centre is to start in less than ten days’ time.

- 

Funding for the plans was secured following a successful bid from Nottingham City Council to the previous government's Levelling Up fund.

The list of improvements was drawn up following a detailed consultation with the town's residents and businesses, which highlighted the need for more high-quality green space, easier ways to get around the town centre, more activities and an enhancement of the nighttime economy.

The plans to make the town look more attractive include:

Bulwell Bogs: The area will be fully refreshed with a new planting and landscape design, including a high-quality play offer to cater for all ages. The splash park will be expanded with the introduction of a refreshments kiosk with toilet and changing facilities to make the park a great place to visit, particularly in summer months. Lighting and CCTV will also be upgraded.
