Traffic travelling along Baxter’s Road yesterday was diverted as hazardous chemicals were removed from the remains of Sermac Laundry, which was gutted by fire on Saturday.
Some people stopped to watch from beyond the barriers. Others were turned back by police after scaling the barricades and attempting to walk through.
The removal was conducted by RWG Consultants’ Hazmat Division, led by chief executive officer Roy Ward, and supervised by the Environmental Protection Department.
Businesses in the area and St Mary’s Primary School were closed as a safety measure.
