THE Lost and Found is closed temporarily after being evacuated following reports of a burning smell and smoke.

Two fire engines, from Northwich and Wilmslow, were called to the Old Town Hall in Princess Street just before midday on Wednesday, October 26.

When they arrived they found no signs of fire but checked the ventilation system with a thermal imaging camera to make sure it was safe.

Staff are now back in the building waiting for electricians to arrive.
