Emergency services have been in attendance ever since, though the centre of activity has since moved to Park Road. The cordon near the bottom of Park Road has now effectively been extended after two loud explosions were heard in quick succession at around 9.25pm. People assembled outside the nearby Tesco Express screamed as the explosions went off and police officers immediately ordered people to move much further away from Park Road. A police drone remains in the sky above the property where all the activity now appears to be.Fire engines, police vans, police cars and a bomb disposal unit are all at the scene.
