DEMOLITION work on one of the town centre’s iconic buildings has stopped for the festive holiday.
So far seven out of the 13 bays that make up Central Offices with its distinctive multicoloured windows have been removed.
The stair and lift core was a substantial structure which took longer to complete than originally expected.
The remaining six bays are anticipated to each take two days to be demolished; this work will take place in the New Year with the long reach machine moving up to May Day Green to complete the works.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
