Those living in the block feel like an important promise has been broken
'Depressed' tenants living in Nottingham's tallest building have been devastated by the cancellation of a planned revamp due to ballooning costs. In January 2022, Nottingham City Homes told the hundreds of residents inside the 26-floor Victoria Centre flats complex that nine million pounds would soon be spent to replace all windows, renovate corridors, replace tower roofs, and provide new emergency lighting and fire doors.
"Some people cannot even open a window in their flat, which makes it stuffy and depressing - I'm lucky that I can. A lot of windows have been screwed shut because they are dangerous and some are boarded up. The city council then took out a 99-year lease until the 2060s. When explaining the original improvement plan for the towers, the local authority said the windows it planned to replace would cover more than five kilometres if placed side by side - which is greater than the distance between the flats and Wollaton Hall.
