Hope has been expressed for 'something different' or a chain restaurant to replace a closed Nottingham bank. The former Lloyds Bank branch in Gregory Boulevard, Hyson Green, has been listed for long-term lease after it was closed in September 2022.
This decision was met with disappointment by residents, who have now given their verdict on what should replace the empty unit. Patrick Massam, 26, assistant manager of Staddons Nottingham Bed Centre, which neighbours the shut bank, said: "I would love for the closed Greggs to come back, but I doubt that would happen.
"It would be good to get something different or another café. People used to loiter outside of the bank but on the flip side we do not have people coming to this area now, so any new business there would be useful."
