EMERGENCY services were called to an un-occupied house in Heswall after its roof collapsed in the early hours of this morning.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue were called to a property on The Mount at 3.47 am after reports that the roof had fallen in.

No-one was injured at the time of the incident.

The area was cordoned off so firefighters could get into the building to assess the damage and a council building surveyor also attended the scene.
