Transformation plans have been put forward for a former Argos in a town blighted in recent years by shop closures. The old Argos off Holborn Place, Bulwell closed in 2020, as part of the company's plans to close a number of standalone shops across the UK.
Three years later another well known store has tabled plans to set up in the vacant unit, with the British Heart Foundation proposing to open a furniture shop. Local residents said the opening would be positive for the area, contrasting with a number of recent business closures, including Boots and NatWest.
Chris Townsend, 71, who is retired and from Rise Park, said: "The shopping areas are being taken over a bit by charity shops. But then we have a lot of closed shops.
