Vehicles on the edge as car park wall collapses in Nottingham

Written by on 20/08/2017

A car park wall has collapsed in Nottingham – leaving vehicles precariously close to a sheer drop.

Part of the wall came away at the NCP Nottingham City car park in Cumberland Place shortly after 4am.

"A wall on level one of the building fell down, leaving one vehicle hanging partially over the edge," Nottinghamshire Police said on its website.

"No one was injured."

All the vehicles "on or near the edge" have been made safe.

The force added that structural engineers had been called in to assess the damage.

NCP said no vehicles had been damaged.

"Part of the front facia of the building has fallen and is blocking the entrance/exit of the car park," a spokesman said.

"The fire service and police are working with NCP and the site remains closed until it is safe to reopen.

"We apologise profusely for any inconvenience."

Police said road closures are in place "in Mount Street, from the junction with Cumberland Place to Maid Marian Way; in Cumberland Place; and Park Row, to the junction with Cumberland Place".
