Residents of the Marsh area on Gerrard Street and Denmark Street have contacted me with their concerns about inaction on the collapsed wall which has meant the closure of their connecting road.

The collapsed wall and landslide of soil is understandably causing huge concern for residents, not only with access issues, but worries about the structural integrity of the rest of the high wall and gardens above them, as well as the properties.

I’ve written to Lancashire County Council today to try and get this sorted as soon as possible.
