A road which was closed a month ago after a building in Halton partially collapsed should soon re-open.

Police were forced to close Halton Road from its junction with the Bay Gateway and Church Brow with Low Road and High Road on after the incident on January 18.

Some of the building has fallen onto the road at Church Brow, and there were concerns it may lead to a potential further collapse.

Building inspectors were called to the scene to assess the damage and arrange emergency work.

A Lancaster City Council spokesman said: "Following the collapse of the boundary wall at Church Brow, Halton, and the subsequent road closure put in place by Lancashire County Council to ensure public safety, contractors have now been appointed by the owner to carry out remediation works to the wall and remove the debris from the road.

"It is hoped that the works will be completed soon and allow Halton Road to re-open."
