Road still shut after Southampton building collapse
A main road in Southampton remains closed two days after part of a building being demolished collapsed.
Police were called on Monday morning following reports of rubble falling into Grosvenor Square.
The adjoining Cumberland Place is still shut in both directions and a diversion through Bedford Place remains in place.
A high reach excavator is removing structurally unsafe concrete from the building, Wessex Demolition & Salvage, which is carrying out the work, said.
"Every effort is being made to make it safe", a spokeswoman from the Fareham-based company said.
No-one was injured but police described the building as "quite unstable". It is being assessed by structural experts.
Eyewitnesses said part of the six-storey building was hanging over the edge of the pavement.
