Excitement at new shops plan that 'will benefit the town'

Shoppers in Sutton-in-Ashfield say the town would benefit from new plans proposed to redevelop the former YMCA building in Sutton-in-Ashfield. The building, on Low Street in the town centre, is proposed to be redeveloped into two commercial units, as well as have four apartments on the upper floors.

Lisa-Jayne Stout, from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, said that people have to travel elsewhere to shop and would like to see more branded shops fill the empty units. The 38-year-old housewife said: “In terms of shops, I would like to see a more, higher range. We do need higher, better quality shops."We have nothing here, we have to go to Nottingham or Mansfield. It is mainly comprises of takeaways and hairdressers, we’ve not got much. We have to just go to Mansfield for any little things.

Another shopper, Robert Bullimore, 74, from Sutton in Ashfield, said that he approves of the plans for the apartments as people need somewhere to live. The 74-year-old said: “It’s all barbers down here and takeaways.
