Hopes have been expressed for something 'useful' to replace a city building which has become a 'waste of space'. Plans for the demolition of the former Willbond bathroom shop on Ilkeston Road, Lenton, have been submitted to Nottingham City Council.
It is not yet known what could replace the building if demolition was approved by the council. Locals welcomed the demolition plan, and predicted that student flats would be a likely eventual replacement if it went ahead.
Kash Tabassum, 20, who studies business and economics at Nottingham Trent University and has lived nearby for five years, said the vacant bathroom shop was currently a 'waste of space'. "It has been closed for a few years I think. It's empty, so if it's not going to be used why not knock it down to turn it into something else - it is a waste of space at the moment.
