Town eyesore could be demolished

These crumbling properties which were the former business premises of Astro Products and JML Packaging on Hucknall’s Derbyshire Lane are earmarked for demolition.

It is hoped, by applicant Mr Glen Parker of Selston, that the plans to demolish and build two three bedroomed semi-detached houses at the site will be given the green light by planning officers at Ashfield District Council.

“I’m glad something is being done about it as it is a real eyesore,” said neighbouring business owner Lesley Bancroft of Lel’s Cafe. A decision is expected on 23rd June.
