People living in an area with 'no takeaways or shops' have demanded investment as a 'posh side' of suburb develops. Residents in Colwick have said that the spate of developments on the Colwick Loop Road have created a 'posh side' of the suburb and have questioned why there are no shops or takeaways in their area.
The most residential area in the suburb centres around Vale Road in what is referred as 'Colwick Village'. Locals on Vale Road said they had not as yet benefitted from the huge new retailers and housing estates planned.
Tony Foreshaw, 62, who works in the Victoria Centre and lives on Vale Road in Colwick, said: "There's not a lot here. There's no space to build anything around here, there's a lot of investment on the Colwick Loop Road but not here. There's no banks or anything, but like I said there's not really space to put any retail places. We could do with some leisure facilities on this side of the city."
