WORK TO START ON BROAD MARSH ‘GREEN HEART’

Later this year, we plan to begin work on turning an area the size of the City Ground Football pitch into a green urban park, complete with extensive planting and wetland/ marsh areas. Bringing nature into the city centre, there’ll be walkways and what could be the longest bench in Europe.

This year will also see the development of detailed, overall vision proposals with some highly-regarded contenders hoping to take on this exciting work.

A major new study is due, into rejuvenating the unique Broad Marsh cave network including caves across the city, published by the University of Nottingham. And temporary uses for spaces to bring activity and businesses into the area will be progressed while the longterm development plans are being finalised.
