Two people in hospital after building collapses in Oldham

North West Ambulance Service confirmed the injuries of the two people taken to hospital were not thought to be serious.

The building is owned by Oldham Councillor Kamran Ghafoor, who has declined to comment on the incident.

Local businessman Kwok Wong, who owns Ree Ming Chippy in Royton, told BBC he arrived in the town centre to find the building had collapsed.

“All the emergencies were there already when I arrived,” Wong said.

“But the building was a mess. Air ambulances landed on top on Mecca Bingo roof.”
