   Hi there,

   I have just had a look at the information panels for the new bus station on your website. I would like to have visited the exhibition and have e-mailed Nottinghamshire County Council about it, but never got a reply. Now I’ve had a look around the exhibition boards, I like the design of the planned corner building and feel it is a very attractive design that harks back to 1930s art deco architecture like the original Worksop library and some London Underground stations. The site is located within the Worksop town centre conservation area and it is important that the new development makes a positive contribution to the character of the area.

   I used to go to North Nottinghamshire College’s Newcastle Street annexe (now closed) and comprehensive redevelopment has taken place in the 10 years since I left; the new Crossing church hub – a very attractive modern building but one that fits into its older surroundings – and the new flats and Acorn theatre at Queen Street.

   It is important that the new building should be sympathetic to its surroundings and I’m confident this has been addressed. The proposals look to improve this key gateway location – a great improvement on the vacant overgrown plot and advert hoardings currently occupying the site.

   The new library is a well-designed building that combines traditional materials with modern green features and has improved the former cattle market site that had been vacant for years.

   From Dan.
