Luckily, the explosion happened at night when the premises were empty and there were no injuries to any persons. Structural engineers and surveyors are currently assessing the stability of the remainder of the premises and it is, as yet, unclear whether they can be repaired or will need to be demolished and rebuilt in their entirety. In the last few days, notifications have been received from the owners of four nearby businesses claiming that the structural integrity of their premises may have been compromised by the impact of the explosion. 1 They also advised that structural engineers are currently assessing their premises to ensure they are still safe. These business owners have formally notified Owusu Forjour that if their premises were adversely affected by the explosion, they will claim an "appropriate and justifiable" level of compensation from Owusu Forjour. Owusu Forjours insurers have been informed but at this point are refusing to comment on the situation until, they say, all the facts are clear in relation to the explosion and its effects
