Excitement and optimism continues to build over the transformation of an old town bingo hall. An ambition to open a micropub within it has been welcomed by people in the town.
They said 'any new pubs would be more than welcome' after details emerged in a plan submitted to Erewash Borough Council to change the use of a section of the old Ritz Bingo Hall, in South Street, Ilkeston.
The former bingo hall now consists of four units - three of which are undergoing refurbishment. Previous plans were put forward to open a cafe within one of the units and were met with a positive reaction.
