Proposed new use for £4m Government cash as Angel Row library fails to sell

Nottingham City Council is considering a new plan for the nearly £4m it received from the Future High Street Fund in 2020, originally intended to transform the now-closed Angel Row library into a creative space. The project has been deemed unfeasible due to the failed sale to a developer.

Nottingham University Hospital Trust has already secured £25m of government funding for its construction. It remains unclear how the additional £3.86m will enhance the project.The council believes the project will revitalise six vacant units on Lister Gate and increase footfall in the city centre. Once at full capacity, the centre will employ 135 staff, including consultant radiologists, radiographers, imaging assistants, physiologists and administrators.

Councillor Steve Battlemuch , who oversees the council's property, revealed that the firm previously interested in purchasing it "did not come through with the money". Mark Simmonds, deputy medical director for Nottingham University Hospitals Trust, previously said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for the people of Nottingham and the NHS as whole to be part of the regeneration of this area.
