Open space
This area was safeguarded when the area was redeveloped in the late 1960s for the extension of Arno Vale Road up to Mapperley Plains to replace the relatively narrow Gedling Road. With the proposals to develop the former Gedling Colliery site, this could be resurrected.

Green way through the housing
The open space was earmarked for the extension of Arno Vale Road which would line up with the new Gedling Access Road. A final decision has been made to leave it as open space. The view also shows the brand new Arnold Hill Academy building; compare with this 2013 view from more or less the same viewpoint https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3463819 .

Arnold NG5, Notts.
From this footpath off Mapperley Plains (the B684) various sports fields and sports facilities - probably shared between Arnold Hill Academy on the left and its neighbour, the Christ The King Academy on the right - can be seen. Arnold Hill Academy (formerly a grammar school and then a comprehensive School) is one of the largest comprehensive schools in Nottinghamshire with a roll of 1,800 pupils and 100 teachers. The avenue running across the middle of the picture is Wembley Road, NG5
