A proposed netting solution has been approved, bringing us closer to reopening the shopping centre.
Working with forensic and glazing consultants, we have established the cause of the incident and ruled out defective glazing, with reports indicating other external factors were involved. For health and safety reasons, it was essential to establish the root cause before progressing with any solution.
Netting will be fitted underneath all glazed areas, a proven solution used in shopping centres elsewhere. The netting has been ordered, and once we have a confirmed delivery timetable, we will share updates on phased installation and reopening.
M&S and Boots are open via the Carfax entrance, whilst Happyscamps, TG Jones, the Post Office, Next, Toybarnhaus, Top Gift, and customer toilets are accessible via the Swan Walk car park entrance.
The safety of all our tenants, their staff, and our visitors remains our absolute priority. We thank everyone for their ongoing support and understanding.
