University students’ union shuts ahead of new intake over concrete safety fears

The Students’ Union said yesterday the announcement was being made with “deep regret” after a a structural safety inspection was undertaken on Wednesday ahead of the traditional welcome week for students.

“It may, however, mean that some events may not go ahead as planned due to logistical issues of having the venue open as a daily social space and bar.” “This news has obviously come as a shock to us and we thank you all for your patience – we are gutted as it isn’t the start to the term we’ve been hoping for but rest assured we’ll do all we can to still make it a welcome to remember.”

The lightweight form of concrete used in the construction of schools, colleges and other buildings from the 1950s to the mid-1980s is being assessed after it was linked to the collapse of the roof at Singlewell Primary School in Kent in 2018.
