Opinion has been split by a plan to turn a closed down Nottingham city centre bar into a café. The former Gincident bar in Friar Lane, Nottingham would be turned into a new café if Nottingham City Council approves the plan.
Gincident opened in 2017 but was closed and then put up for let in January. Local residents were divided as to whether another café would offer something to shoppers they did not already have.
Denise Kellichan, 72, who lives in Nottingham, thought the scheme was not needed. “Cafés are all over, there are too many. I don’t know what they could do with this space instead, but I would definitely not like to see an eatery as there are far too many,” Ms Kellichan said.
