Belfast’s Connswater Shopping Centre reopens after leak

Connswater Shopping Centre in east Belfast has reopened for business after a substantial leak caused by heavy rainfall forced its closure on Monday.

A spokesperson for CBRE NI, which manages the shopping centre, said any minor damage has been fixed or will be fixed today.

On Monday Brian Lavery of CBRE NI said they were made aware of flooding and had sent a team to address the issue.

CBRE NI’s executive director Gerard McCann said the roof had not collapsed, but the mall was closed due to a leak.

The shopping centre was closed due to health and safety concerns, he said on Monday.

“There was water on the floor, and we had to be careful that no one slipped on it and so we could mop it up. The centre will be open first thing tomorrow morning.”
