A city council spokesperson said: “Demolition contractors carried out work on Tuesday evening and into the night to remove loose masonry and take down the gable end of the roof, which was structurally unsound.”Structural engineers have since inspected the building to determine what further action is required to make it safe.”Contractors are now preparing to carefully demolish the top floor of the former factory – and potentially the floor below – due to imminent risk of collapse.”Until that work is complete, it has been deemed unsafe for people to return home to the adjacent building. Alternative temporary accommodation is currently being provided for around 25 people.”
