This article praises Nottingham City Council leader Neghat Khan for her commitment to building diverse housing in the city center, particularly on the Broad Marsh site.

A story we published on January 20 about new student accommodation attracted comments like: “How about working homes for young people who would pay council tax?” and “How about making Loxley House into student flats?” as well as “Oh great joy. Just what the city centre needs - more student accommodation. You couldn't make it up.”
