A decision is set to be made on a 'key element' of a £21m plan to regenerate a Nottinghamshire town. The vacant Tiles UK warehouse in Derby Road, Stapleford was recently demolished so a new public car park could replace it, and these plans will be decided by councillors at Broxtowe Borough Council's planning committee on March 8.
The Tiles UK building was closed in December 2020 and remained empty until it was knocked down in January 2023, according to Broxtowe Borough Council. The new car park would be owned by the council as part of the Stapleford Town Deal, for which Broxtowe Borough Council has been awarded £21 million of government funding for six regenerative projects.
The proposed car park is a "key element of the Town Deal" according to the council, as it will replace the car parking on Victoria Road. This will be lost when the new £5 million Enterprise Hub is constructed in its place. The hub will include an indoor market space, independent bistro-style food outlets, a vibrant indoor market to the ground floor, as well as flexible office space, - and as such the hub cannot not move forward unless the car park is approved.
