Tue 17 Jun 2014Nottingham will never be mistaken for Paris but it is slowly being reorganised into French-style ‘quarters.’ In April the city council approved plans for Royal, Canal and Castle quarters to go with the business-orientated Creative Quarter that is based in and around Hockley. While LeftLion understand that there are as yet no plans to actually reorganise residential areas of Nottingham into arrondissements, readers may be wondering if there are also plans afoot to create the equivalent of Paris’ bohemian Left Bank.
