Just been diverted around part of King Street from Rice Lane to Church Street.
Huge Police presence, Fire Engines and Ambulance standing by. Large traffic queues all around the area up to Liscard road. Divert well before this area to miss the traffic.
A local said there'd been a Gas explosion. Not known if there are any casualties or sure how accurate the rumour is at the moment.

I heard that too and I thought the same thing but according to the News services, Police were called at 7:21am. so apparently not what we heard.

And yes, the single thunder clap earlier was massive.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
