In March, a section of the pavement on London Road, alongside Fort Royal Park, was closed and signs were put in place asking pedestrians to cross to the other side of the road.

The 8ft wall directly adjoins the park and was slowly bulging out into the footpath over the last six months. 

The cause of the structural damage to the wall still has not been revealed.

Repairs are expected to take around three months, and the footpath closure will remain in place throughout that period.

According to One.network, the section of pavement closed on London Road is set to remain closed until October 31, in case the wall collapses.
