Casino plan faces further delays

A plan opposed by the city council leader to create a new casino in Nottingham has been put on hold.

The Glasshouse on Huntingdon Street is to house students. Plans to have a bingo hall on the first floor were replaced with the casino scheme.

These have met with just one objector - the local ward councillor and city leader Jon Collins.

The council's executive board has now decided to defer a decision on the plans until a future meeting.

Neither police nor planning officers raised any objections to the casino, but Mr Collins said he feared increased late night noise.
