Parts of Whitchurch Civic Centre are to close to the public after RAAC (reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete) roof beams were discovered in parts of the building.
Parts of Whitchurch Civic Centre are to close due to the discovery of RAAC
As a result, Shropshire Council say a detailed structural inspection of the Civic Centre must now be carried out by specialist structural engineers. Dean Carroll, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for housing and assets, said: “For safety reasons we have had to take the decision to close some areas of the Civic Centre to the public until specialist engineers have carried out a detailed inspection of the building and we can have reassurance about safety.
"We are working closely with our Shropshire Council colleagues to resolve this as soon as possible. Whilst there is no, identifiable, immediate danger, it is a responsible measure for the safety of the public and our staff, and we hope to be able to reopen facilities as soon as possible. Shropshire Council’s property and development team is now carrying out a data gathering exercise to help identify if RAAC is present in any of the buildings that Shropshire Council is responsible for.
