The preparatory work has been ongoing by contractors Hughes & Salvidge since the carpark closed at the beginning of September and The News can now reveal the scale of the work so far to flatten the site.
Watch the video embedded in this story to see the work completed so far.
The demolition crew began working on the southern side of the carpark, where the entrance was, and have worked their way towards the middle of the building, exposing all of the levels the carpark had. As previously reported by The News, the demolition forms part of the council’s plans to regenerate the town centre with the site having been marketed and offers are currently being considered. It is expected the outcome – which will be shared with the public – will be finalised shortly.
