A town centre building collapsed after numerous reports of it being unsafe.
The ECHO reported earlier this month that the old Conservative Club on Earle Street in Newton-le-Willows had become unstable, amid reports children had been seen playing in the derelict building.
Councillor Terry Maguire previously claimed children were in "immense danger" if they enter the premises. The building collapsed on the afternoon of February 25, with police and fire services attending to make sure no one was inside.
