Council bosses say they are not yet able to say when Nottingham Castle will be back open
By Gavin Bevis and Joe LockerCampaigners say they are disappointed after the city council said it could not yet give a date for the reopening of Nottingham Castle.
The castle and its grounds have been closed to the public since the trust that ran it announced it was going into liquidation in November. Nottingham City Council had said it planned to provide an update on when it would reopen by the end of this month.The attraction was brought back under the control of the council after Nottingham Castle TrustTom Unterrainer, who is part of a group campaigning for the site to be reopened, said the authority's failure to give a date was "incredibly disappointing".
He said: "Our campaign very clearly said from the start we recognise that reopening the castle building itself might be more complicated but get those gates open and get people into those grounds.A sign outside Nottingham Castle set out the situation for visitors: "Since the site was handed back to the council from Nottingham Castle Trust's liquidators, our initial focus has been to ensure that the site and the collections are safe, secure and appropriately managed.
"We also need to ensure that any proposals meet with the agreement of our funding partners and we continue to have positive meetings with them."As soon as we can share more news with the city, we will."
