A 'derelict eyesore' former pub could be the home of a major new health and community centre
A 'derelict eyesore' former pub could be the home of a major new health and community centre planned for Hucknall. It's understood the former Seven Stars pub, in West Street, is the proposed location for the new ‘Cavell Centre’ in the town.
The major hub had initially been planned for part of the Piggins Croft car park, in Hucknall town centre. But difficulties in finding space for the three-storey building without losing town centre car parking spaces meant a new site needed to be found. Councillor Jason Zadrozny , the leader of Ashfield District Council, said: “It’s amazing news for Hucknall because it gets this multi-GP surgery in a massive Cavell Centre that’s only one of few in the UK. The Seven Stars pub, which is our preferred site, is a really bad, derelict grot-spot just another 100 yards outside the town centre than Piggins Croft, and this could be seen as a massive boom.
