Pedestrian access to the southern end of Frogmore Street is via the A40 only.

Authorised pedestrian access only.

Delivery vehicle access between 4pm - 10am, restricted to a maximum weight of 7.5 tons.

No through vehicle access, exit via Lion Street.

Full pedestrian access.

Changes to the road closures will be updated as investigations are concluded.

Council Leader, Cllr Mary Ann Brocklesby, commented: "We are truly shocked by the events of Sunday night. Our thoughts are with all residents and businesses affected."

"As a council, we are here to support anyone needing information or assistance following the fire. The current closures have been implemented for the public's safety. While we understand this may impact other businesses, public safety is our number one priority at this moment in time."

"We will continue collaborating with emergency services and our partners to support everyone affected."

"I would like to thank the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and Gwent Police for their prompt response and continued support. I also thank Abergavenny Town Council and the local community. Once again they showed what we do best in Monmouthshire: selfless practical help and support for people in need."
