🔥 A very worrying night on Tunstall High Street.
Tonight’s fire broke out in the derelict building right next to our café. We were incredibly lucky that it didn’t spread to our property.
This is a serious reminder that these neglected buildings are not just an eyesore — they are a real safety risk to local businesses, residents and the community.
Only a few months ago, another building further along the High Street caught fire. How many more incidents do we need before something is done?
We only hope that the owners of these buildings start taking responsibility before the next fire causes something far more serious. Our High Street should not have to be put at risk because buildings are left abandoned and neglected.
