People on a city street have voiced concerns that new flats would increase the 'parking chaos' in the area. The proposal would see the partial demolition and extension of the former Garners building in Hall Street, Sherwood, to form 13 flats for Nottingham City Council’s Assisted Living programme.
The development would provide housing for vulnerable adults and this is supported by the Council’s Commissioning and Procurement Team. The project has been recommended for approval at Nottingham City Council's planning committee on June 22.

Jeremy Smith, 38, who works around the area, said: “It’s already difficult to find a place to park. It’s because the parking here is free so it’s always full.
