The street could really do with some positive news 🙌
Hopes have been expressed over the transformation of an 'empty' city area set to gain a big name fashion brand. Lister Gate in Nottingham city centre has been left barren after a series of shop closures, including Marks & Spencer Home, Boots, Shoe Zone, and WH Smith.
"Shops like Flannels bring people into the area, encouraging other shops to come in as well. I think you do have to get quality shops, even stuff like designer clothes brands, in so that people come down this way," Mrs Chapman said. Les Thomas, 81, from Bestwood, said: "I think it is really sad to see this street like this. It's between the city centre and train station but its a ghost town.
But the news comes at a time when the new walkway through Broad Marsh towards Lister Gate is open. The new walkway will eventually feature views of the new 'Green Heart', called Lister Square, with a Major Oak the focal point. East Midlands Chamber chief executive Scott Knowles said: “Flannels’ plans to open in Lister Gate signal the potential this parcel of the city centre has despite all the challenges it has faced in recent times.
