Business experts say that problems facing high streets have been "exacerbated" in Nottingham by the state of the Broad Marsh as just over 90 city centre units stand empty. Nottinghamshire Live walked around the centre of Nottingham on Tuesday, January 24, to count how many units in the city were currently vacant.
We found that a total of 93 units were empty on the day, with five appearing to have had offers placed on them and some form of work taking place on two units. The biggest number of empty units was found on Lister Gate, where there was a total of 19 vacant shops.
Lister Gate lies in the shadow of the former Broadmarsh shopping centre, the operating company of which went bust in 2020. Since the collapse of Intu, work has been taking place to shape the future of the Broad Marsh area.
