Two years after a piece of cladding fell from a city centre apartment block some nearby businesses are still nervous about the public s safety.
Rachel Waring, one of the owners of Warings Lifestore in Westlegate, was forced to temporarily close her business after a piece of cladding fell from nearby Westlegate Tower.
The hospitality boss – who has been busy serving customers sitting outside under Covid restrictions – said: It still makes me very nervous. It s not remotely about how it looks, it s about whether or not the people of Norwich are safe.
