Major route closed due to 'unsafe' building

A main road into Leicester has closed and a number of properties evacuated after masonry fell from an "unsafe" commercial building.
Police cordoned off a section of Saffron Lane, from the Knighton Lane East to Aylestone Road junctions, after debris from the property fell on to the pavement on Tuesday afternoon.
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service said no one was hurt but nearby buildings were evacuated for safety.
A crew and a building inspector were sent to assess the building after the service was called at 13:17 GMT, adding it "remains an ongoing incident".
Leicestershire Police advised motorists to find alternate routes, adding the road closure "will be in place for some time".
