New plans have been put forward for a graffiti-hit old beauty salon in Sherwood which neighbours say looks 'a bit of a mess'. Officials from Hockley Developments, a company behind a number of significant projects in and around the city, including the Sherwood Library redevelopment, want to redevelop the former salon in Hucknall Road into an assisted living facility to include 12 one-bedroom flats and also accommodate staff.
The property, near the junction leading to Weardale Road and Teesdale Road, used to be home to a beauty salon called The Venu. A prominent sign on the front of the building says the business has relocated to St Albans Road, between Daybrook and Arnold.
The vacant building in Hucknall Road has been daubed with graffiti and people living nearby had their say on the plans. Semi-retired Chris Smith, who is 54 and from Sherwood, questioned the location for such a development, saying the "main road is really busy" and that the building "looks like a bit of a mess right now".
