As much as £130,000 has been signed off by Nottingham City Council to spend on structural surveys of the Grade-II listed Guildhall and clear pigeon droppings ahead of its transformation into a luxury hotel with a rooftop restaurant.
The landmark building, on the corner of Burton Street and South Sherwood Street in the city centre, was once home to a magistrates' court and a fire and police station after it was built in 1887.
To comply with its health and safety responsibilities, the city council needs to ensure a structural survey of the property is complete, followed by a clean-up of the droppings.
