Just on Radio 5, the centre is apparently being evacuated within the ring road but is just breaking news...

Appears to be a 'public warning' at the moment, though it looks like they are evacuating Broad Street area.

No cars getting in further than the inner ring road.

Hopefully it is a false alarm.

Generally these current groups don't give out warnings anyway.

According to Sky news they have closed a few streets and no traffic is being allowed through either.

Seems like they have it under control, but still very frightening.

got sky news on, asking people to evacuate, stopping people going into the centre and asking people to leave it, and they are saying it might be a bombscare or threats of it, but dont think anythings happened. just they think they have intelligence about it. hope nothing happens
