M&S staff close off store after major flood

M&S Southport is almost fully closed after a flood today.

It’s thought a pipe burst overnight and wasn’t detected until staff tried to open the store this morning.

The Tulketh Street food hall remains open but all other sections have been closed off.

OTS understands a vast amount of stock has been seriously damaged by the burst pipe.

Engineers have been called and are in the process of repairing the burst pipe.

Staff are hopeful of fully reopening the store tomorrow but some disruption is expected.
