A section of a shopping centre is due to reopen next week after a glass pane fell from its roof causing it to close for over a month.
Swan Walk shopping centre, in Horsham, has been closed since July 13 after a pane of the building’s glass ceiling fell into the centre.
In a previous update, Swan Walk bosses said netting has been ordered, which when installed, will allow the centre to reopen.
This was delivered on August 21 and the centre has now said installation works began earlier this week.
A spokeswoman for the centre said it will be reopening in phases and the first section will include stores in the Carfax mall.
She said: “We can confirm that the netting solution has now been delivered and installation works started earlier this week. The netting will be installed in a stages, meaning that we will be able to reopen Swan Walk in phases.
"We anticipate that the first phase will be able to reopen next week. This phase covers the Carfax mall and means that stores from our Carfax entrance down to the Next and TG Jones area will be able to open.
"As works continue over the next few days, we’ll be able to confirm an exact reopening date for these stores and will share detail on the next phases and timings as soon as we are able.
"Please keep an eye on our website https://swanwalkshopping.co.uk/ and social channels for further information and updated store guides."
