Windmill Hill has been closed on Sunday after the accident, which was believed to have happened overnight, and the front of the Turkish Barbers shop has been destroyed.

There have now been calls for safety railings to be installed on Windmill Hill.

The car caused so much damage that the resident living above the shop on Windmill Hill had to be evacuated.
