Proposals have been tabled to transform the area into a mix of two, three and four-bed properties
Residents living near a derelict college site in Nottingham have welcomed plans that would see 55 houses built in its place. The land, off Carlton Road on the border of St Ann's and Sneinton, was once home to the Castle College and formerly a pub.
They also said it would stop anti-social behaviour in the derelict buildings. Aundrey Miller, who has lived in Carlton Road for around 40 years and whose husband was a caretaker at the college, said: "At the moment it looks a right mess."I'm 90 years old so I don't think it'll affect me, I have no objection. It's not been looked after as it should be. People have been round with clipboards, I just want them to get on with it.
Richard Walker, a 35-year-old truck driver, added: "They might as well, but they could have turned it into a park, a few more green areas instead of paving over everything. In planning documents submitted to Nottingham City Council, the 55 properties are listed as market houses, with none allocated as affordable. Mr Moore said he wanted the homes to be catered to people wanting to climb onto the property ladder.
