Plans have been unveiled for an 'eyesore' former toy shop building in an area residents say is 'changing a lot'. The new proposals look to demolish the large former World Wood Furniture warehouse in Sherwin Road, Lenton, and replace it with two buildings containing 34 flats in total.
The furniture business previously based at the premises, which was once occupied by the Jolly Giant toy store, left some time ago. Both of the new-build blocks would be three-storeys tall, with one building containing 19 one-bed apartments and four two-bed apartments and the other building providing 11 one-bed apartments.
Dave Turner, 53, and Angela Turner, 48, from Lenton, thought the prospective flats would bring more to the area than the current 'eyesore'. Mr Turner, who works in a warehouse, said: "It's been shut a while, and it has become a bit of an eyesore.
