Levelling up ambitions to expand the outdoor markets in Hucknall and improve sports facilities and roads in and around the town have been met with excitement from shoppers. People in the town also suggested additional improvements they'd like to see after Ashfield District Council made its bid for £11m of Government cash to revitalise the town.
As well as an ambition for changes to the 'successful' markets, councillors want to create a new visitor experience at St Mary Magdalene Church in the Market Place, focusing on Hucknall’s most famous residents from the past, improve the streets, roads, and public space around the Byron Cinema, and create a new 3G sports pitch.
Improvements to signs, along with the creation of a digital app to improve access to the town centre for pedestrians and cyclists, and better facilities at the train/tram station also form part of the plan.
