More CCTV and public facilities are among the demands of business owners at Carlton Square
Businesses in a "ghost town" Nottinghamshire shopping precinct are hopeful of changes including better facilities and shop upgrades as £10 million for the area is officially approved. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced in his March budget that £20 million would be invested in Carlton from the Government's towns fund project, which sees a 'town board' being set up to decide how money should be spent over the next decade.
Carlton Square in Gedling was the subject of a failed Levelling Up Fund bid in 2021, though £350,000 of funding from a local enterprise partnership was then used to redevelop its car park. That money, alongside £100,000 from the council, was also spent on CCTV equipment and a new pedestrian route to the shopping centre from Burton Road.
Yet with frustration having being voiced about Carlton Square for years, some believe it should be a priority for the investment, though the council would have to work with Waypoint Asset Management on any scheme. Some were sceptical that it would make a difference, with Just Delicious manager Lorna Needham saying: "I don't believe the council are thinking about what we need or want, it's about what they want and what can make them money.
