Plasterboard collapses on to shops in town centre

The council said it was working to make The Parade safe

A cordon is in place at a shopping centre after plasterboard collapsed on to a row of shops.

Shoppers at The Parade in Swindon were being urged to "take extra care" after large amounts of debris fell outside TSB Bank and Second Cup Coffee.

Swindon Borough Council said it was working to make the area safe.

"Our team is on site to make the area safe while we await some additional support to clear the debris," the council said.
