The former Abbeymoor Nursing Home in Worksop is set to be demolished this week as Bassetlaw District Council is using emergency powers to ensure the safety of the site.
Some of the buildings on the Sherwood Road site, which are all privately owned, have been the focus of anti-social behaviour including a number of fires which have left it in a poor state of repair.
Due to the dangerous nature of several buildings, and it being a risk to public safety, approved contractors have been brought in to carry out emergency demolition work, which is expected to take up to three weeks.
The Council is using its emergency powers to clear part of the site, in the interest of public safety, after attempts to get the building’s owners to undertake the necessary works up to now have been unsuccessful. Following the emergency works, the Council will seek to recover the full cost of the work.
