City's 'new-look' square delayed

The square is boarded up while the work is done

The Christmas opening of Nottingham's �7m new-look Old Market Square has been delayed because of a shortage of building materials.
The city council said contractor Balfour Beatty is having problems sourcing stone from China and Ireland.
A Christmas tree and decorations will be put in place with the big switch-on planned for the end of November.
But part of the main square will be closed off until the final work is completed in February.
The new design includes a new water feature and removal of all the old steps and walls.
