A SHOP in Cam has been forced to close for the afternoon after a sign collapsed.

Signage above the entrance of One Stop in Phillimore Road fell down blocking the entry way.

Staff at the shop had to close until contractors arrive to fix the problem.

Speaking to the Gazette, a member of staff said they didn’t know what had caused the issue and that they expected to open early this evening.

“We’re now waiting for contractors. They’ve told us they should be here at about 5pm.

“We don't know how it happened but until they’ve fixed it we will have to stay closed for health and safety reasons.”
