A road in Wigan town centre had to be closed for safety reasons after a loose tile was spotted falling from a roof.

Crews from Wigan fire station were called to King Street at 11.30am on Thursday to a report of an unstable tile.

The building was halfway along the road, so they decided it would be best to shut the whole street to ensure no-one would walk past.

Firefighters placed a ladder against the building and removed the loose tile, before reopening the road.
