RESIDENTS who live near a burnt-out chapel will have their say on its future.
The building between Chewton Street and Church Street,Eastwood, was gutted by fire in April.
Broxtowe Borough Council decided to let people who live close to the cemetery give their views on what should be done.
A consultation will be delivered to 2,000 residents and will give them the opportunity to rate a number of options in order of preference.
Those options are: demolition and removal; demolish to a low wall level as a reminder of what it was; sell the remaining shell and plot for conversion to a domestic dwelling; restore and reconstruct to its previous state; restore and reconstruct, including additional facilities like water, sewage, toilets, lighting, parking and heating, to bring into community use.
There is also an opportunity to suggest how the building could be used should it be restored and reconstructed with additional facilities.
The cemetery the chapel is in is home to the D. H. Lawrence family grave where the writer's mother Lydia, his father Arthur and brother William are buried.
