Work to demolish buildings on Bangor High Street damaged by fire will begin next month. The properties, 164 and 166 High Street Bangor, extensively damaged during a fire in December 2019, will be demolished in two parts from February 1. The first part will be to strengthen the road in order to support the crane required to enable the demolition work to proceed. It is anticipated that this first phase will take approximately 7 weeks. Once a crane is located on site then the second phase, the demolition of the buildings, will be able to proceed. The demolition work will take approximately 6 weeks to complete.
