Roads shut for skyscraper repairs
Roads surrounding Manchester's tallest building which were shut after a window was broken on the 23rd floor are set to close again so repairs can take place.
The accident happened at the Hilton Hotel in the 169m (554ft) Beetham Tower, the UK's tallest residential building, on Thursday afternoon.
The damage was thought to be accidental and is not being treated as suspicious.
Various roads around the building were shut for about six hours while the area was made safe.
Parts of Great Bridgewater Street, Watson Street and Deansgate are set to close again later to enable the window to be replaced.
