Plans to breathe new life into Hucknall’s town centre have been revealed by Ashfield District Council as the authority pushes forward with plans to ‘level up’ the town, but many residents think this won't help. Hucknall could become an “attractive, vibrant, accessible, unique and resilient” place under the council-led plans, which aim to promote its “heritage, distinct character and culture”.
It comes as the authority publishes its draft Hucknall masterplan, a 38-page document outlining how the town will be transformed over the coming years. It forms part of the council’s wider plans to give Hucknall a new lease of life, with elements of the document to underpin a future £20 million bid for the Government’s Levelling Up Fund.
The document, published on Tuesday (March 22), confirms various parts of the town centre and surrounding sites would be given a face-lift to improve Hucknall’s appeal to residents. Nottinghamshire Live went and visited the town centre to ask people what they thought of the plans.
