Homes evacuated and roads closed as building collapses
Roads were closed and homes evacuated following the collapse of a building in Gwynedd on Sunday night.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said no-one was injured in the incident on Bridge Street in Caernarfon.
The service was called by a member of the public just after 21:00 GMT with one crew attending and leaving at 23:35.
North Wales Police asked people to avoid the area, adding that the following roads were closed: Poolside from the roundabout from the flyover, Bridge Street onto Bangor Street, Mill Lane and Crown Street.
On Monday morning the force said Bridge Street and Crown Street were now reopen.
Cai Larsen, Plaid Cymru councillor for Canol Tref Caernarfon ward, said it was an "extremely dangerous" situation.
"It's obviously a concern. Nobody got hurt, fortunately, and we need to be thankful for that, but you've got buildings in the middle of Caernarfon that aren't in a very good state and hopefully nothing like this happens again, but it's possible," he said.
"It is something that needs to be looked at... I'll be talking to the council later today about whatever powers of supervision are available to them."
A spokesperson for Cyngor Gwynedd said the collapse was limited to the back of the building and it was vacant at the time.
