BOBBY & Co will reopen later today after being evacuated and temporarily closed.

Following routine overnight maintenance to the sprinkler system, a leak occurred close to electrics and the building was evacuated at 4pm on Thursday.

There is a small amount of cosmetic water damage to the back of the shop where Flaming Noras toy shop is housed.

A spokesperson for Bobby & Co said: "Very luckily, this area was already roped off as it was in the middle of a redesign, and we expect to be back on track there with minimal delay."
