24 26 25 25 2

THE BUILDING AUTHORITY TODAY DECLARED A TWO-STOREY PRE-WAR BUILDING AT NO. 231 MAIN STREET, APLEICHAU TO BE IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION.

ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPAL GOVERNMENT BUILDING SURVEYOR, THIS BUILDING HAD BEEN UNDER PERIODIC OBSERVATION FOR SOME TIME IN VIEW OF ITS ADVANCED STATE OF DETERIORATION, FOLLOWING THE RECEIPT OF A COMPLAINT.

IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SAGGED MAIN ROOF TIMBERS, SEVERELY BULGED NORTH-WEST FLANK WALL AND THE ROTTED STATE OF THE STRUCTURAL TIMBERWORK AROUND THE STAIRCASE AREA OF THE BUILDING WOULD LEAD TO A COLLAPSE. IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO ORDER THE CLOSURE AND DEMOLITION OF THIS BUILDING.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO APPLY FOR A CLOSURE ORDER IN VICTORIA DISTRICT COURT AT 9.30 A.M. ON APRIL 16 WAS POSTED TODAY.
