Fears are growing that more 'struggling' businesses will close on one of Notts' best high streets. Mapperley Top has a variety of independent businesses from florists to travel agents and there is plenty of choice for food and drink.
Shoppers have labelled the suburb's high street the best locally in the past, but the energy crisis, combined with the cost-of-living crisis and inflation has worried businesses. This comes after the owners of Holy Cannoli, on Mapperley Top, announced on Facebook that it would close down.
Those working on the high street feared more shops and eateries might be forced to close as 2023 begins. Kirsty Allen, 34, who works in The Plains fish bar, said businesses were worried about what the New Year would bring.
