A video of the demolition will be posted on the council’s Facebook page.

Coun Matthew Morley, cabinet member for transport and highways, said: “We have arranged for the demolition to take place on a Sunday to help minimise the disruption caused to local businesses and residents.

“A safety cordon will be put in place and unfortunately it will not be possible for people to watch it on site. We ask people not to approach the cordon as the car park will not be visible from it.”
