Leicester Factory Collapse Update | Leicester News

A former factory in Leicester’s Wharf Street South partially collapsed on July 13th, injuring one person but no fatalities. Police confirmed it wasn’t an explosion, though an internal leak was detected before the collapse. Emergency demolition is underway to secure the area, expected to finish by July 28th. Residents displaced by the incident can return only once safety experts give the all-clear—likely mid-next week. The city council plans to recover all demolition costs from the property owner, and the street remains closed during the operation. Safety remains the top priority as crews work to stabilize the site and restore normalcy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
