On Friday (18/2/22) as Storm Eunice swept across the UK, this upper section of Potters Bar High Street was closed as a large construction of scaffolding was teetering, and some had already fallen along (I believe) with part of the building's roof. I don't know if the road was later re-opened, but in the small hours of Monday (21/2/22) Storm Franklin went one better - bringing down a whole section of the scaffolding and spraying it across the High Street into Oakmere Park on the opposite side of the road. Needless to say, the road is definitely closed again and I would think it will remain that way for quite some time.
