Works to ensure the safety of the crumbling former Central Plaza Hotel have stopped.

It comes after a further detailed inspection of the building found more issues of 'serious concern'.

Carlisle City Council says this will result in more work than initially planned.

To ensure the safety of those working on the site, works have ceased until a further specialist assessment is made. This will establish what further work is required and how this will be undertaken."

– Carlisle City Council spokesperson
