Bury St Edmunds’ Greggs in Abbeygate Street sees scaffolding go up as repair work set to begin
Scaffolding is now being put up on a historic town centre building which had been called a ‘disgrace and an embarrassment’ by campaigners.
A scaffolding company has been busy in Bury St Edmunds putting scaffolding onto the front of Greggs in Abbeygate Street after campaigners drew attention to its state of disrepair.
On a social media post, Emmerson Critchley said they were the builders behind the transformation of the Grade II* listed building with their team hard at work to ensure it receives a fresh new look.
In March the bakery store had been described as ‘Britain’s poshest Greggs’ by a number of national newspapers.
At the time a spokesman for the council said Greggs had appointed a maintenance company and a contractor was scheduled to carry out works in the summer. The work didn’t happen but a new contractor had been appointed and a new start date was being arranged.
