Giant ice blocks have been seen falling off of Weymouth House at Bournemouth University. The ice caused by the freezing weather has been falling from a high distance and could pose a safety threat to students walking in the area. The Estates team in charge of ground keeping at the university said: “We are aware of the issue and there is a job on for it.”
