Fire service statement after Nottingham's Victoria Centre evacuated

Firefighters say the Victoria Centre has been been evacuated because of a 'suspected gas leak'.

Four fire engines have been called out to the incident in the city centre.

A fire service cordon has been put up around the Upper Parliament Street junction entrance of the shopping centre.

The incident was reported shortly before midday on Saturday, November 20.

Shoppers said they'd been evacuated and photos show people gathered outside.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "We have four appliances in attendance at Victoria Centre in Nottingham because of a suspected gas leak.

"People are being evacuated from the building and we ask people to avoid the area."

A spokeswoman for the Victoria Centre said: "We can confirm that there has been an incident in the area and on the advice of the Fire Service we have had to evacuate the centre and await further instruction.

"We’re unable to share any further information at this stage but we will issue an update as soon as we can.”
