Urban explorers have once again gained access to Nottingham's former Debenhams building, filming inside the site four years after its closure. Plans for the building's future are expected to be revealed early in 2025.
Nottingham's former Debenhams building has again been accessed by 'urban explorers' filming inside the site four years on from the store's closure. Plans are due to be set out early this year on what the future of the iconic building holds after the Debenhams store first closed in May 2021.

Longmead Capital, the company which has been in talks with Nottingham City Council over the building's future, previously said it was being kept safe and secure. The company did not want to comment on the latest access of the building.

Longmead has previously explained that Long Row Properties first acquired the site on the basis that they would receive a continuous income stream from Debenhams. Neghat Khan, Nottingham City Council's leader, previously told Nottinghamshire Live that the plans for the building's future were 'ready to go' and expected a public consultation to be launched by developers very early in 2025.
