Crews were dispatched at around 12.50 pm to a fire above Lloyds Pharmacy, in between Bambola and Lister Surgery, which was started accidentally by a workman carrying out repairs to the roof.

The road was closed to traffic for around 30 minutes and vehicles coming from Charing Cross were diverted down Dumaresq Street.

The fire was extinguished by 1.15 pm and there was a small amount of damage. No-one was injured. Crews also worked to clear smoke from an adjacent property.
