Bromley High Street cordon removed after high winds on scaffolding works

ADVERTISEMENT

EMERGENCY services were called to deal with unsafe scaffolding at a charity shop in Bromley High Street.

The police cordoned off one side of the street from Starbucks up to the Alliance & Leicester just after midday after they received a call to say the structure at Barnado’s looked dangerous.

Fire crews worked on the scaffolding and then declared it safe at around 1pm.

The cordon was then removed.
