Shoppers have shared their visions for the future of a site which will soon be vacated by a major retailer. Health and beauty giant Boots issued a statement in June confirming their store on Commercial Road, Bulwell, will close in August 2022, in a step the company labelled "unfortunate"
The upcoming shutdown has added to a string of closures in Bulwell, with small business Budget Wise and bank NatWest having recently shut for good. Locals said they wanted something to 'draw people in' to the town, with some suggesting there was a need for 'something different' in the town's high-street.
John Wright and Beryl Wright, both in their 80s and from Bulwell, thought the town had been "neglected". "Well we don't need any more charity shops here. Something that will bring something different." Mr Wright said.
