Updated plans for the redevelopment of Beeston town centre include a shisha bar and a virtual reality gaming space, which have been welcomed by residents. A new Broxtowe Borough Council report confirms there are offers in place for the town's former Argos building, to create the bar on the ground floor and from a gaming company for the first floor.
It's part of the £50m revamp of the town centre, and wider plans include an eight-storey student accommodation building, along with the site of The Arc Cinema having venues set to open underneath it, including an Italian restaurant and a bar, kitchen and arcade.
Locals previously said they hoped the plans for the cinema complex would be 'Beeston's answer to the Nottingham Cornerhouse'. And the most recent updates have been backed by locals, too, as they want to see the empty sites in use.
