New business enterprise hub gets go-ahead

Plans for a new business enterprise hub in Nottingham have been given the go-ahead by city planning chiefs.

Nottingham City Council will turn the People’s Hall on Heathcote Street into a 9,633 sq ft facility.

People’s Hall is a grade II listed building located in the Lace Market area of the city. The building, which was built in 1750, has been empty for a number of years. It is owned by local resident Nigel Kirk.

With support from Nottingham City Council, an Historic Buildings Trust has been established and grant funding is being sought to support a full programme of building repairs and alterations.
