Call for Nottingham's 'ugliest building' to be demolished as plan suggested

Nottinghamshire Live readers are happy to hear that a car park in Nottingham that "overshadows” existing efforts to revitalise the Broad Marsh area may be set for demolition. Work is well underway on the 'Green Heart' element of the redevelopment, which will see half the former shopping centre's land being turned into a large park. Readers have been discussing the issue in our comments section.

There are concerns however, that the NCP's Maid Marian Way car park will block the outlook for anyone trying to enjoy a long-range view of Nottingham Castle. Councillor David Mellen said of the building: "It doesn't really overshadow a park appropriately, it's certainly got a bit of a weathered look. We hope that there might be a situation where that won't be there any longer, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.

Notty5y asks: “If it is demolished would that mean more business for the Council-owned Broadmarsh car park? Just asking.” Flatfoot1 replies: “Probably, but this building is probably the ugliest in the city, it's clearly in a deteriorating condition and it blocks views of the castle. There are plenty of better and more modern car parks available. Time for it to go.”
