Wakefield city centre wall collapses from wind

A wall on the edge of Wakefield city centre collapsed due to bad weather.

Strong winds caused serious damage to the wall on Marsh Way opposite Trinity Walk.

Joe Jenkinson, Wakefield Council’s service director for planning, transportation and strategic highways, said: “The very strong winds over the weekend caused a large section of wall along Marsh Way to come down.

“Our teams reacted quickly to secure the remaining wall and make sure it was safe. We’re now carrying out surveys to determine the next steps.”
