Paisley Centre remains closed as investigation continues into fallen roof

Investigations are continuing at the Paisley Centre into the cause of the roof collapse yesterday.

A section of roof above the High Street entrance collapsed at around 3pm on Monday afternoon. The centre was immediately evacuated and emergency services were called.

No-one was injured.

The Paisley Centre remains closed today as fire control continue to investigate the cause of the collapse.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: “We attended at the Paisley Centre following reports of a collapsed structure.

“Operations Control mobilised a number of resources to the scene, after the alarm was raised at 3.09pm.

“There are no reported casualties.”

A Police Scotland spokesman confirmed officers were on site and offering support to fire crews.

It’s understood a centre worker spotted a section of the ceiling sagging just before it fell in.

He then alerted the fire service to the incident.

A spokesperson for the centre said: “Our main priority is the safety of our customers.

“The centre remains closed today.

“We will keep our customers updated on when the centre will reopen via socialmedia.”
