โ The bomb in Keyham will be disposed of today! โ
A new temporary cordon of 300 metres will be put in place today as the removal of the unexploded wartime bomb in Keyham takes place.
Over the past few days, bomb disposal experts from the Army and Navy have been assessing the device to determine the best possible approach for its disposal. It is a very complex situation, and a number of factors need to be considered, alongside the overriding objective of keeping people safe, avoiding damage to property and impact on underground utilities.
After considering all options, including a controlled detonation on site, it has been agreed that the safest and least impactful option is to remove the device from St Michaels Avenue and travel to the Torpoint Ferry slipway, for the bomb to be disposed of at sea (beyond the Breakwater).
Highly trained bomb disposal experts will carefully remove the device from the property and it will be transported by road in a military convoy from Keyham to the Torpoint Ferry slipway.
In order for this to happen, we need support from residents in the area along the route. Anyone who lives within 300 metres of the route will need to leave their homes TODAY for three hours. You will need to leave your home by 2pm and we anticipate that you will be able to return by 5pm. If you need help or support to do this, please call 01752 668000.
Top points:
ยท The rest centre at the Life Centre remains open to support people who do not have anywhere to go.
ยท The main trainline will be closed, ferries (including the Torpoint Ferry) will be suspended and buses will be diverted.
ยท Once the operation is complete, the Police will begin to reopen the roads.
ยท Remember to take any essential medication or medical aids that you might need, e.g. walking sticks.
ยท Where possible leave your windows open.
ยท Take any important household documents.
ยท If you have already left your home for the day e.g. for work please do not return to collect items.
ยท A number of schools and nurseries in the area will be closed. Schools will contact parents and carers directly.
ยท You can leave your car behind as long as it does not block the route
