A BLOCK of flats in Southampton hit by a dramatic fire while under construction has had another blaze.

About 25 fire-fighters desceneded on Mayflower Halls, next to Mayflower Theatre to tackle a fire which had started in a kitchen.

However the blaze was out by the time the fire engines from St Mary’s, Redbridge and Hightown Fire Station arrived.

It comes after the £70m tower block saw an inferno rip through it which saw 50ft flames coming from the top of the 16-storey building in May last year.

The latest incident happened at 10.42pm on Friday night.
