Dozens of buckets inside Broadmarsh Centre due to 'ongoing leakage'

As heavy rain continues to batter Nottinghamshire, some buildings have had to result to simple measures to deal with the effects.

A number of buckets have been placed around the inside of intu Broadmarsh Centre to deal with leaking.

Buckets can be seen around the entrance to the H&M store as well as along the main walkway through the centre.

The most recent spell of wet weather started on Monday (June 10) and could last until Thursday (June 13) afternoon.

A yellow weather warning was issued by the Met Office due to the heavy rain.

The shopping centre is currently undergoing major refurbishment as part of the wider £250 million regeneration scheme to turn the area into a retail and leisure destination.

The £89 million project for the new centre is aiming to be completed by 2021 and will include a cinema, bowling alley, restaurants and retailers.

A new glass frontage will also be added nearer the end of the project.

Nigel Wheatley, general manager, said: “There are currently a number of buckets around intu Broadmarsh due to ongoing leakage.

"These are not due to current works but are simply a result of the centre’s age and something we are addressing as part of our exciting regeneration project.”
