Environmental campaigners are calling on Nottingham City Council to build the next Broad Marsh so sustainably that it will last for at least 150 years. The redevelopment of the 20-acre Broad Marsh site is one of the most significant city centre projects in the UK.
"Our key point is that the Broad Marsh redevelopment is a massive opportunity for Nottingham to do something that is environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive and we shouldn't waste this chance to set an example.
"We can't just gentrify the area so that only those people who can afford a £3 cup of coffee and a nice meal out get to enjoy the Broad Marsh. But once again, the fear is that the council's financial situation means it will just think short-term about this." Nottingham City Council's Portfolio Holder for Energy, Environment and Waste, Councillor Sally Longford, responded to the concerns raised by saying: "Work that we have already undertaken demonstrates our commitment to improving the environment in this part of the city, as part of our ambition to be the UK's first carbon neutral city by 2028.
