Work begins on former Stable Block

Construction work to transform a former Stable Block in Long Eaton into modern office space is underway.

The Stable Block Managed Workspace Units forms part of the Long Eaton Town Deal, which will see up to £25 million of Government funding invested into the town, with several projects being developed.

This is the first of the core Town Deal projects to start construction. Once complete, the offices will be available for lease by local businesses.

Representatives from Erewash Borough Council, the Town Deal Board, contractor J Tomlinson and consultants Baily Garner, gathered at the site at Long Eaton Town Hall to witness the landmark occasion.

Five projects form the Long Eaton Town Deal; Galaxy Row, Pedestrian and Cycleway, High Street, West Park and the Stable Block.

Progress is also being made on the Galaxy Row project, which aims to remove the former derelict Galaxy cinema on Derby Road and replace it with a new development made up of commercial and residential units. This would be part of a larger development which includes the former cinema, a tyre depot, adjacent shop fitter’s store and former nightclub. The council is now in possession of two out of the four development plots required for the project.
