Willmott Dixon will be the main contractor on the next phase of the Broad Marsh Green Heart regeneration project for Nottingham City Council<\/h2>\n

The Green Heart regeneration project is a crucial part of the redevelopment plan for Nottingham’s 20-acre Broad Marsh area. This area was once home to a large shopping centre.<\/p>\n

After intu went into administration, Nottingham City Council took over the Broad Marsh site.<\/p>\n

The council obtained \u00a38m from D2N2, the Local Enterprise Partnership, through the Getting Building Fund. They also received an extra \u00a34m from the Transforming Cities Fund.<\/p>\n

The shopping centre was demolished by Willmott Dixon<\/a> in 2022 with help from Pick Everard. The project was procured through SCAPE, a leading procurement specialist in the UK.<\/p>\n

Work on the Green Heart regeneration project is already underway<\/h3>\n

Willmott Dixon has already begun construction on a new public space opposite the upcoming Central Library.<\/p>\n

\u201cNottingham\u2019s Broad Marsh Green Heart vision is a regeneration project with valuable green space at its core,\u201d said Nick Heath, director at Willmott Dixon.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreen space is important for the beating heart of all urban environments<\/a>, and it brings major benefits too, according to the World Economic Forum\u2019s \u2018BiodiverCities by 2030\u2019 report, which looked at the importance of changing the relationship between nature and our towns and cities,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

The project aims to improve biodiversity in Nottingham<\/h3>\n

The Green Heart regeneration project aims to create green, environmentally diverse areas with natural spaces to support wildlife. It will be part of a network of green spaces connecting the Broad Marsh area from Nottingham Castle to the 36-acre Island Quarter regeneration site.<\/p>\n

The main goal of the project is to restore the \u2018marsh\u2019 to the Broad Marsh area by introducing new urban wetlands. This will help capture, slow down, and filter rainwater, which could potentially prevent flooding and also boost biodiversity.<\/p>\n

More green space was by far the most popular response when we asked people what they would like to see happen around Broad Marsh as part of the huge Big Conversation engagement exercise the council ran a couple of years ago,\u201d said the leader of Nottingham City Council, David Mellen.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who has visited the area recently will see how much it has changed with lots of greenery, pedestrianised areas, and seating. The creation of the Green Heart will take the transformation of Broad Marsh a major step further and be a beautiful addition to the city centre which is unique to Nottingham,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Helping Nottingham City Council to achieve net zero by 2028<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt is fantastic to be supporting the next phase of this iconic regeneration scheme, with a nature-first design that will encourage rewilding and improve biodiversity,\u201d commented Mark Robinson, group chief executive at SCAPE.<\/p>\n

\u201cProviding accessible green space is not only essential for supporting the health and wellbeing of Nottingham\u2019s residents and visitors but it also plays a key role in helping Nottingham City Council achieve their target of becoming net zero by 2028,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Construction of the Broad Marsh Green Heart regeneration project will begin this autumn.<\/p>\n
