Families living on the premises have been relocated, some of them by the Social Services. This is the fourth evacuation of this week, after the council ordered the evacuation of residents from 2 buildings in the Pere Garau neighbourhood and the another on Calle Riera, where the the historic Astoria cinema was once located.
