The shopping centre’s bauble-covered tree was blown over by “particularly strong gust of wind”at 5,30pm on Wednesday afternoon, according to centre manager Janet Drury.

Safety tape was hastily put in place — along with a single cone — and Ms Drury said the installation company responsible for the tree would be back tonight “to ensure it is secure”.
