Family-run Marlborough Pets, located in a Grade II-listed building in the Wiltshire market town, is recovering after a lorry smashed into nearby scaffolding, destroying windows, doors and roof tiles of several shops.

After recovering from the shock of the incident, owner Tina Kelly has vowed to restore the window of her picturesque building.

Tina said: “It was a big shock. A lorry hit some scaffolding a few doors along in the early hours of a Sunday morning. The driver did not realise but his vehicle dragged some of the scaffolding along the street, causing damage to several properties.

“We had to board up the window initially but were able to quickly arrange a temporary one. This will stay in place until we have a handmade-curved style window reinstated where the building is listed. It has to align with the style of what was in situ prior to the incident. 

“We're just so thankful for the temporary window whilst we await the repairs and we've made the most of creating a lovely eye-catching display for Easter, which the local community have appreciated.”
