The space is due to open on Wednesday, September 4
Residents and business owners say they are excited about the imminent opening of a landmark green space at the centre of Nottingham's Broad Marsh site. Commuters and shoppers will have noticed the speed at which the development, named the Green Heart, has undergone its finishing touches - it's become something of a gateway to the city after all.
Hilary Silvester, the executive chair of Nottingham Civic Society, said she was "delighted" it was opening. "It will be welcoming to people coming from the train station," she said. "The demographic who come to this side of town will change which could be interesting to see," said the 27-year-old. "It will definitely help footfall for the business.
Shirley Timmins, 80, who regularly walks through the area, said she was looking forward to the opening. "I like it, it's a nice design and very unusual for a city centre," she said.
