We are assisting Derbyshire Constabulary with a large-scale precautionary evacuation on Vulcan Street in Normanton. An 100m cordon has been set up in the local area resulting in the closure of the following roads:
- Shaftesbury Crescent
- Vulcan Street
- Reeves Road
- Harrington Street – from Holcombe Street to Vulcan Street
- Baseball Drive – to Colombo Street
- Cambridge Street - at Reeves Road and Shaftesbury Crescent
We have set up an assembly point at the Pakistani Community Centre, 103 Harrington Street, DE23 8PB to support any residents who have been affected, with a rest centre in place at The Salvation Army, 38 Osmaston Road, DE1 2HU. A number of Derby City Council colleagues are on site to support with translations and help reassure any residents who have been evacuated.
Accommodation has also been arranged for any residents that need any support overnight and the coming days.
