General views of Evolution Cove, in Stonehouse, Plymouth which has been deemed unsafe. Residents have been moved out of the Plymouth apartment block in danger of collapse. // Residents have been forced to flee homes amid fears their 18-year-old block of flats could collapse. Dozens of people were told to vacate their flats when problems first emerged as the building was deemed 'unsafe'. Plymouth City Council in Devon put a 27-metre exclusion zone around the Evolution Cove block in Durnford Street, Stonehoue due to concerns about the structural integrity of the building. It has been gathered that the concerns are related to a cracking within the concrete frame in the car park and therefore prompt a risk of building collapse until structural props have been installed to support the building load.
