£57m in Levelling Up bids made to ‘unlock Nottingham’s potential’

Nottingham Broad Marsh Island Quarter Bulwell Conygar Levelling Up Fund

Bids totally £57 million have been put into the Government’s Levelling Up Fund to unlock a range of schemes in Nottingham’s Broad Marsh area, Bulwell town centre and the Island Quarter.

The city council has asked for £20 million to support work on the 20-acre Broad Marsh site. Plans to totally transform the area were drawn up following the collapse of intu, owners of the former Broadmarsh shopping centre, in partnership with urban designer Thomas Heatherwick.

The Broad Marsh bid would see the “Frame” of the derelict shopping centre retained and reimagined into a new space to bring people together in the city for leisure, performance and food, potentially unlocking 6,000 jobs and making way for 750 homes and more than 400,000 sq ft of commercial and business space.
