Strand Street blocked after concrete wagon tips over
SHOPPERS got more than they bargained for in Strand Street this morning (Thursday).
Police cordoned off the pedestrian area outside the former Leisure Inn arcade, after an incident involving a truck with a long arm, which is used to pour cement on to the site.
A police spokesman said a crane was needed to right the vehicle.
A spokesman for the Department of Infrastructure’s health and safety inspectorate said: ‘The chief inspector is down at the site at the moment. He was called out of the office.’
No-one was injured in the incident.
No further details have been released.
The arcade has been demolished and the site is being redeveloped for high street chain Topshop.
