It is a big change
Neighbours in Beeston are trying to stay 'positive' but have expressed their sadness as a popular former shop was demolished. Work has taken place on the former King Carpets store, on the corner of Marlborough Road and High Road, to make way for student flats.
“To see it gone is sad - Beeston has completely changed,” said Audrey Edwards. “The landscape looks different now, this has been here my whole life, this building. It’s just sad, I suppose it will be nice when it’s done. There’s no good moaning about it.”The 87-year-old added that she moved to a property 20 years ago near the Broadgate House, which is currently being turned into an 84-bed student accommodation.
23-year-old Fred Hendry-Brias, who works at The Little Plant Guys on High Road said: “I came down properly in the past two days. We don’t mind at all. I think it’s quite beneficial to us.” He added: “I don’t personally see it as a bad thing, The younger people are bringing life to the city. All it’s been doing is sitting there for a few years.
