People say a plan to open a cafe in an old bingo hall could help ‘bring the town back up’. Plans have been put forward for the former Ritz Bingo Hall, in South Street in Ilkeston.
The bingo hall, which closed in 2018, consists of three units and plans show that one of the units could be a new cafe if the proposals are approved. People in Ilkeston said a "nice cafe would be good" for the area.
Retied hotel manager Ward John, 59, told Nottinghamshire Live the area was going downhill and needed something like a new cafe. Mr John said: “It’s going downhill here - they need to bring it back up.
