Today during the final parts of demolition at Woolston Warehouse, a fire started accidentally. Thankfully the local fire teams did an excellent job in containing the fire to a small section of the building and ensured that there were no injuries to any members of the team.

This accident will not hamper any of the fantastic progress made to date on the scheme and we will endeavour to complete the development within the timescales.
