Part of a shopping centre has reopened after a glass pane fell from its roof causing it to close for over a month.
Swan Walk shopping centre, in Horsham, closed on 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, would allow the centre to reopen.
Swan Walk has now confirmed this has been installed in the Carfax mall area and 16 stores in the centre have reopened.
A spokeswoman for Swan Walk said: "We can confirm that netting has now been installed in the Carfax mall area of Swan Walk and stores in this part of the centre reopened yesterday morning. 16 retailers, those located from the Carfax entrance down to Next and TG Jones reopened their doors on Tuesday 1st September.
"This includes brands such as Crew, Fatface, Hobbs, Deichmann, Accessorize, H&M, Pandora, Holland & Barret and several others. The full list is available on our website at www.swanwalkshopping.co.uk and the store guide has been updated to help visitors navigate the centre.
"The netting installation and reopening will be completed in stages, with the second installation phase now underway. We're looking forward to making further updates about more stores reopening in the coming days and weeks and our plans for a reopening event, to be held on the first weekend of the full centre being open.
She added: "In the meantime, we'd again like thank our tenants, their employees, visitors to the centre and our town centre partners including Horsham District Council and Your Horsham for their ongoing support and patience."
