A shopping centre is preparing to partially reopen at the weekend after closing almost three weeks ago when a glass panel fell from the roof.
No one was hurt when the roof panel dropped at Swan Walk Shopping Centre on Saturday 11 July.
Shopping centre bosses said: “We are pleased to share that we’ll be able to reopen a select number of stores this weekend.
“Next, TG Jones, Toybarnhaus, Top Gift and Happyscamps Soft Play will reopen on Saturday 1 August.
“The centre toilets will also be open.
“We have worked closely with our insurers to allow the reopening of these stores which can be accessed without the public needing to walk beneath the glazed roof.
“Access to this area will only be available via the stairs and lifts from the Swan Walk car park across the link bridges.
“Access to M&S and Boots remains through the Carfax entrance or via the M&S lift from the car park.
“A plan showing access points will be available on the website – www.swanwalkshopping.co.uk – and at all centre entrances from Saturday.
“While public safety remains our number one priority, we’re continuing to work closely with our insurer to ensure that all stores can reopen as soon as possible.”
