Demolition of the former Galaxy cinema and Stage One nightclub in Long Eaton will begin in April as part of a £25 million town centre redevelopment. Erewash Borough Council has secured funding for the project, which includes new homes, business premises, and retail spaces.
The Galaxy Row development will feature 16 flats, four townhouses, and three commercial units, and construction is set to be completed by August 2026. The broader regeneration plan also includes a £10 million refurbishment of the High Street and transforming the former Stable Block into modern office space.
With ownership of the derelict site secured, the council avoided a lengthy public inquiry, ensuring the project moves forward without further delays. Demolition is expected to take four months, with construction beginning immediately after.
