People living in a 'dead' city suburb have been speaking about what they would like to replace a now vacant building of a former supermarket that operated in the area for more than 30 years. Frozen food giant Iceland on High Road in Beeston closed for good earlier this year and shoppers said they will miss the affordable prices at the store.
However, the community now said that they want something completely different to replace it. Milly Cooke, who works at a store on High Road, said she hopes an entertainment venue could be put in its place.
"I think we really need a bar here," she said. "This area does not have a bar or that kind of vibe, it has pubs but it is not the same." The 23-year-old, who also lives in the area, went on and said: "If you want a nice bar, cosy bar there is nowhere to go. You have to go to the city centre and it is a shame."
