Conservation bid for area linked to the lace industry

RESIDENTS are being asked for their views on whether to create a new conservation area alongside a main road.

Erewash Borough Council members believe a stretch of Derby Road, in Long Eaton, is an area of special architectural interest and have proposed the new conservation area as a way of ensuring it is preserved.

Residents are being asked to take part in a public consultation.

Councillor Geoffrey Smith, Erewash Borough Council's lead member for regeneration and planning said: "This stretch of Derby Road contains a concentration of buildings of special architectural interest. Several were designed by locally-important architects and the area represents an important part of Long Eaton's heritage."

The proposed conservation area is linked to Long Eaton's lace industry in the first decade of the 20th Century.

The area would recognise the architecture of houses built for lace manufacturers.

Full details of the consultation can be found at www.erewash.gov.uk/derbyroad. For more information, write to Conservation & Design Officer, Erewash Borough Council, Town Hall, Derby Road, Long Eaton, NG10 1HU or telephone 0845 907 2244.
