Police close road in Carlton as bomb squad moves in to deal with unexploded shell

A road was closed by police in Carlton and a cordon was put in place following the discovery of a suspected unexploded shell in a garden.

Cavendish Road was closed between the junctions of Highgate Close and Wheldon Avenue as an Explosives Ordnance Disposal team safely disposed of the item.

A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: “People were advised to avoid the area while officers were at the scene and we’d like to thank the public in advance for their patience.”
