The listed building collapsed in October but repairs have yet to be carried out by its owner.

PublishedThe owner of a listed building which partially collapsed into a river will be charged for repair work by the local authority.

Mr Ahmed said he has attempted to contact Cumberland Council about the "on-going crisis" but claims he was met with a "wall of silence". He added the council had caused him "reputational harm" which led to service providers refusing to work on the Old Courthouse.
