New date set for postponed triple blast.
A date has been set for the three remaining tower blocks in Layton to be demolished.
Elizabeth Court, Churchill Court and Walter Robinson Court were due to be brought down by an explosive demolition on Sunday May 15.
However, more time was needed to ensure the safe demolition of the blocks so it was delayed and it will now take place on Sunday July 31 between 10am and 11am.
Forshaw Demolition, which will be carrying out the explosion, has written to residents who live in the ‘exclusion zone’ around the three blocks to inform they will need to evacuated during the operation to nearby support centres.
If all goes to plan, it is hoped the exclusion zone will be lifted by 12.30pm on the day.
