Long Eaton’s derelict Galaxy cinema is set to be demolished in April to make way for its redevelopment as part of the £25 million Town Deal.
The former Stage One nightclub which stands next to it will also be demolished to make way for a wholesale regeneration of what is known as Galaxy Row.
The demolitions will see new homes and commercial units built on the Derby Road site. The plan is for three business premises plus 16 flats and four townhouses.
The council has partnered with Mypad and Tuntum for the development scheme.
Chair of the Long Eaton Town Deal, Richard Ledger, said: “This marks a significant milestone in our Town Deal vision for Long Eaton. After considerable effort to secure these properties, we’re thrilled to see demolition begin.
“This is the first step in transforming Galaxy Row into a vibrant hub of homes and businesses, and we’re committed to keeping the community informed every step of the way. We eagerly anticipate the positive impact this redevelopment will have on Long Eaton.”
The demolition work is expected to take around four months with construction work set to begin straight after.
