People unable to go home after building collapse

Residents evacuated from their homes after a building partially collapsed have been told they cannot return due to ongoing safety concerns.

Several people were forced out of the affected flats and a number of neighbouring properties in London Road, Sheffield, when part of the front wall collapsed into the street in the early hours of Sunday morning

Sheffield City Council said those affected had spent Sunday night in a hotel, adding that the authority had been working with the building owner to make the site safe.

A spokesperson said one lane of London Road remained closed to traffic following the collapse.

They said: "Nobody has been hurt in the incident, and the council continues to work with the building's owner, evacuated people and the emergency services to make the building safe and return evacuated people to their homes as soon as possible."
