Balcony collapses in Limassol

Police were called in the early hours of Wednesday morning after a balcony collapsed in an apartment building in Limassol.

The falling balcony was noticed by a security guard at the private hospital opposite the building.

Once it was determined that no one had been injured, maintenance teams from the Limassol municipality moved in to secure the rest of the building’s balcony, ensuring that it does not also collapse.

Underpinning work has also begun on balconies on the adjacent building.
