The damage cut gas supplies to about 190 nearby properties. SGN said repairs cannot start until engineers visit affected homes and businesses to switch off supplies safely at the meter. The spokesperson added: "Due to the damage to our network infrastructure, gas supplies to around 190 nearby properties have been lost. "Thank you for your patience while we carry out these essential repairs to our gas network." It is unclear how long repairs will take or when gas supplies will be restored to all affected properties.
