an integral monorail...Old Mkt Sq - Castle - Broad Marsh - Station - Meadows - Meadow Lane - Racecourse - Carlton - Netherfield - Gedling - Arnold - Daybrook - City Hospital

Broad marsh to look like:

I know people have campaigned for a inner city park, with green space.

I wished they could rebuild the Broadmarsh back into a shopping centre, that had green spaces and was a nice place to explore. I used to enjoy going into several of the shops in there before it started to become all gloomy due to them closing down shops.

The idea of a cinema in there appealed because I don't like Cineworld anymore.

Going into Vic Centre is a nightmare too, all the money conned into that "development" which ended up as them just making it appear like there was more space, letting more natural light into the shopping centre but nothing all that major. The huge distraction outside [the big screen] is awful - so I hope Broadmarsh avoids that. It would help with making Nottingham's City Centre less congested if the shopping centre returned.

I'm sure there's a creative way to balance everything, allowing for green spaces but for a car park/useful shopping centre to be build.

Issue is where the money yet again will come from.

I can barely even remember what Broad Marsh looks like when it's not under some kind of 'refurbishment' / half-empty. 

Whatever happens it shouldn't be sold to a cooperation or business that may end up abandoning it after receiving investment. 

i dont really care, i just hope they get on with it and finish it off before covid is solved. it should not take this amount of time for them to finish whatever it is they do.

There's plenty of shops that Nottingham no longer has or are scattered around the Market Square but in smaller retail units. I would like the city to have two proper shopping centres with better food establishments in the Broadmarsh.

If they can fit some green spaces and build the car park creatively above ground level, I think everyone could get what they wish.

@Joshua"build the car park creatively above ground level" ... I think that's the last thing to think about. If Nottingham really does have aspirations to be a "greener city", then the car park has to go

????????

You think Covid is going to last another 10 years at least then? 

@Super_Danny_Allsopp no but it should not take 10 years to build something that has already had money pumped into it.

my point is i am sick of things like this that are extremely slow to sort out. its nowhere near as complexed as covid and before the massive u turn it was supposed to be finished much sooner.

A greener space in the city centre would be nice, with food outlets and a better shopping experience would be idea. Broadmarsh could be much bigger if it was built correctly, in the day I preferred it over the Victoria Centre.

the building which has replaced the bus station looks awful, its sad to see the video, i watched it on the news yesterday but no real progress has been made elsewhere other than the awful car park thing.

Even the "car park thing" looks now surplus to requirements
