Residents Object to New Nursery Plans

21st January 202422nd January 2024 Graham Wright

Proposals to create a new children’s nursery on Brookside Road in Ruddington have proved unpopular with householders in the area.

However, the commercial premises have since lain empty, facing an uncertain future. Most recently, plans to demolish all the existing buildings and build three houses and six apartments there were also shelved. This followed a negative response…

Unfortunately, this major work resumes this Monday 8th January 2024,…

4th January 20249th February 2024 Featured Content

2023 was a BIG year for property writes Ruddington’s Benwell Daykin Estate Agents. Let’s look at some of the most interesting property related stats from last year, according to property portal Zoopla.

The key takeaway from this is that although a similar number of transactions completed, many buyers did look to down-size their budget due…
