People are walking Swan Street, in The City, seemingly unaware of the danger above their heads.
For the past few months, the underside of an awning, overhanging the pavement outside the popular Moses Store, has left a huge piece of cardboard dangling above unsuspecting passers-by, following a partial collapse.
