People in Hucknall have been left 'devastated' over plans which have been passed for a local pub. Proposals to convert The Portland Arms, in Annesley Road, into three flats have recently been given the go-ahead by Ashfield District Council.
After closing down many times over the past five to ten years, the pub closed its doors for good in December 2020. The plans, which have been approved, are to create two studio flats and a one two-bedroom apartment.
Despite months having passed since it closed, residents remain sad at the loss of the pub. Sean Munk, a courier from Hucknall, said the community had been left upset.
