The cordon on Stephenson Road has now been lifted following an unexploded bomb being discovered this morning (Thursday 15 August).
Detective Chief Inspector James Bamber said: “We’d like to reassure the public that the area has now been made safe by Explosive Ordnance Disposal, who have removed the item and will carry out a controlled explosion in a safe location.
“The discovery was made by a landscaper who was carrying out work in the properties rear garden. We believe the ordnance was an unexploded World War II bomb.
“The 100m cordon put in place has now been lifted and there is no threat to the public. Those who were evacuated are now able to return their homes and the area has been reopened.”
