Residents are divided over a new block of student flats that are being developed on the edge of Sneinton opposite the Motorpoint Arena. Development is under way for the original two-storey building, which is being transformed into a six-storey student block of flats, with nearly 200 bedrooms.
Planning permission for the project was granted in 2019, and steady progress on the building has been taking place in recent months. Many residents are thrilled about the development, and hope more students will bring more business to the area.
When asked about the development, midwife Mae Kelly, 23, of Sneinton, said: "I think it's fine. Students bring a lot of business to the local area, so I don't think it really bothers people generally."
