Supermarket closed over concern for building

Part of the facade - visible under the windows and below the coloured panels - appears to have slumped

A large supermarket in Nottingham has closed over what is being described as a "maintenance issue".

Social media posts said the Tesco Extra in Bulwell closed on Saturday evening with parts of the building cordoned off.

Images from the scene appear to show part of the external cladding of the store had slipped over the entrance to the car park.

Tesco has apologised to customers and said it was working to reopen the store.

Shoppers and cars have been turned away from the store

A company spokesperson said: "Our Bulwell Extra store is temporarily closed due to a maintenance issue.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience, and we are working to reopen the store as soon as possible."
