THE company developing the site where a teen's body was found at the weekend has said it is 'cooperating with emergency services' over the incident.
At around 6.30pm on Sunday (October 25), the body of a teenage girl was discovered at the site.
Now, developer Churchill Retirement Living, has said it is working with authorities looking into the incident.
"We are aware of a tragic incident at our site on Tangier Way, which has been securely closed and sealed off since March when construction was put on hold due to Covid-19," a spokesperson said.

"We are cooperating with the emergency services and our thoughts are with the young person’s family at this very sad time."
Work on the development, on the site of a former Lidl supermarket, was suspended due to the crisis and will eventually see 72 retirement apartments built.
