WORK to start the demolition of Time Square is set to get under way this week.

Contractors will start on the old B&M building first to allow for works on the gas pipes to take place.

Access to the site has now been closed off with hoardings.

Warrington Market will stay open throughout the work while first a temporary and then permanent market are built.

When the whole site has been cleared, it will be the heart of a £100million development to include cinema and Imax as well as shops and restaurants.
