The upper stories of a local pawnbroker at 220 Uxbridge Rd were affected when the roof gave way, covering the pavement with debris, and injuring a pedestrian.
By Sunday most of the mess had been cleared up, but you can still see piles of roof rubble tidied away behind the cordons. Below is a Google Maps image of what the street looked like before the roof gave way.

Whoever owns the flats above the pawn shop may be looking for new builders.

I wonder if the council will have much to say on this near-miss at 220 Uxbridge Rd, as the proposed conversion seemed to fall foul of many of their and the London Plan's polices when it was submitted back in March, April and June.
