Demolition firm's premises crushed in cliff collapse
- 11 months ago
A demolition firm has had to abandon its premises after they were crushed in a cliff collapse.
The site sits at the foot of a cliff that fell in April, taking some of the road above with it and damaging their offices and machinery.
Employees at Lancebox Ltd in Swanscombe, Kent, started to return to the site in the last two weeks but have now been told by the council that it is unsafe.
Now they are left in limbo, too scared to go into work but unable to claim on the insurance unless they are actually ordered by the council to leave.
The firm was left to pick up the pieces after part of the road collapsed onto their premises on the Easter bank holiday on April 10, damaging buildings, vehicles and machinery.
The staff at the demolition firm have been mainly working from home since the landslide but have returned to the site full time in the past two weeks.
