Bulwell Plans £20M Town Centre Revamp with Government Funding

Nottingham City Council has unveiled updated proposals for a £20 million transformation of Bulwell town centre, funded by the government’s Levelling Up scheme. The project will revitalize the Bulwell Bogs play area with expanded splash park facilities, new landscaping, and a kiosk with toilets and changing spaces, while also upgrading lighting and CCTV. The town’s Market Place will see refurbished stalls and improved power access to attract a mix of vendors, and the bus station’s public toilets will be rebuilt and modernised. Pedestrian areas will benefit from renewed paving, new seating, and street trees, with improved connections planned between the Market Place and Bulwell Bogs. Additional goals include working with property owners to restore historic buildings around the Market Place, subject to budget availability. The council has coordinated the project schedule to keep popular amenities, such as the splash park and market, open during peak times, and is inviting residents to provide feedback on the proposals before work begins in the autumn.
