Sentencing for Chorley teen charged with arson following Park Hall nightclub blaze postponed due to incident
The nightclub has been two months.
Sentencing for a 16-year-old boy from Chorley who has been charged with arson following a huge blaze at Park Hall Nightclub in Charnock Richard has been postponed due to an incident.
Ten fire engines and two aerial ladder platforms from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (LFRS) rushed to the Park Hall Road Nightclub in Chorley on Tuesday, April 7.
Devastating pictures show the aftermath of the fire ravaged building as the blaze gripped hold for around two hours. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
The teen had been placed in a youth dentention centre until today but has since been remanded into police custody after failing to show up for his sentencing due to an incident involving himself and an officer.
Park Hall Nightclub which was forced to close due to the extent of the blaze has still not reopened.
A spokesperson for Park Hall Nightclub said at the time: “We are devastated to share that there was a fire, located in the offices above our venue.
“While areas have been significantly affected, the nightclub itself has sustained less damage than first thought.”
They added that restoration work would begin as soon as possible and that they hoped to reopen in the near future.
The teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will be sentenced next month.
