Shoppers are excited and say Mansfield will ‘take a step in the right direction’ as work to create a new hotel and three restaurants develops. Plans were approved in November 2020 for a 100-bedroom hotel and three restaurants as a part of the £12m Stockwell Gate project.
The site is on a former bus station in Mansfield which closed in 2013 and had been vacant ever since. The three restaurants on the development are set to be Taco Bell, Tim Hortons and Dominos.
The scheme will provide parking spaces, direct pedestrian access to the existing Walkden Street car park, and revamped pedestrian links to the Four Seasons Shopping Centre. Shoppers told Nottinghamshire Live they are 'looking forward to going there’ when the development is complete and say it will ‘improve the top end of Mansfield.’
