Nottingham Bomb Scare, Mansfield Road [another false alarm]

Luckily, it was another false alarm. But, this is now a feature of life in Britain, with everyone on such a 'short fuse' after the London Attacks. To see the military on our streets is still quite a shock to many of us that are more used to a civil society.

Roads blocked off at stort notice, worried looks on the publics face. There was a small explosion, with the distruction of a suspect package.

Roads opened again, life returns to normal. But at the back of everyones mind there is still much concern. There will be many more false alarms.
