Shoppers in Sutton-in-Ashfield say the town would benefit from new plans proposed to redevelop the former YMCA building in Sutton-in-Ashfield. The building, on Low Street in the town centre, is proposed to be redeveloped into two commercial units, as well as have four apartments on the upper floors.
The plans involve two apartments on the existing first floor, and a second floor to have another two apartments. Shoppers are excited about the plans and say the town needs to fill the empty shops.
Lisa-Jayne Stout, from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, said that people have to travel elsewhere to shop and would like to see more branded shops fill the empty units. The 38-year-old housewife said: “In terms of shops, I would like to see a more, higher range. We do need higher, better quality shops.
