It’s fair to say that some locals are not keen on the multi-story car park on Maid Marian Way. The 24-hour car park is a typical 1960s or 70s design made from cast concrete. In fairness, you’d do well to find a car park anywhere that looks aesthetically pleasing. But if it's going to be named after one of history's most beautiful maidens it might need a makeover.It’s fair to say that some locals are not keen on the multi-story car park on Maid Marian Way.

Most of us can agree that, on the whole, Nottingham is a great city to live in.

However, for a city with stunning buildings such as Wollaton Hall and the Council House, it’s fair to say that Nottingham also has its fair share of eyesores.

From former shops left to rot to ‘ugly’ concrete car parks, many of these perceived eyesores are considered a blot on the city.

It’s worth pointing out, however, that many of the places considered as eyesores were once key parts of the community.

But for one reason or another, whether it be political or simply mismanagement, these buildings have fallen into disrepair.

As we head into 2025, we asked Nottingham World readers which local eyesores they would like demolished in 2025.

A surprising number of readers called for the Victoria Centre to be demolished and rebuilt. The shopping centre was opened in 1972 and has welcomed millions of customers over the past 52 years.

The former Nottingham College building in Maid Marian Way closed earlier this year and will be handed back to Nottingham City Council on December 31. The future of the building remains unclear heading into 2025.
