The Public to re-open
Saturday 19th December 2009, 10:00AM GMT.
The Public was expected to re-open today after the attraction in West Bromwich was evacuated amid fears over chemical fumes inside the building.
The arts centre was cleared of staff and visitors after the building filled with paint fumes. Fire, ambulance and police services were called out at 1.15pm yesterday following reports of a “chemical reaction” caused by painting work.
Staff and visitors were evacuated to West Bromwich town hall. Police left at around 4pm. No casualties were reported.
