A STREET in Reading has been closed due to fallen brickwork.
Friar Street has now been closed in both directions following fallen masonry, with the area deemed to be unsafe.
A number of bus routes are being diverted away from the street and members of the public are being asked to keep away as emergency services, including Thames Valley Police and the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, attend.
Members of the public posted photos to social media showing pieces of brick smashed on the road outside Lola Lo’s, Super Delight, and Sam Pound Stores at around 3pm.
Reading Buses also posted to social media saying: “Friar Street in Reading is closed due to a Police incident, all affected services are on diversion.
It is unclear when the street will be reopened.
More as it develops.
