Engineers from Northern Gas Networks have worked tirelessly throughout the weekend to carry out emergency repair work to a medium pressure main outside the John Gill Ltd garage on Bedale Road, Bedale.

Due to engineering difficulties however, specialist equipment is now required to complete the repairs. As a result, Bedale Road remains closed at present.

Northern Gas Network’s Customer Operations Area Manager, Gordon Thompson said;

“This is a complex repair where we need to bring in specialist equipment to work with. We are working around the clock to minimise disruption to local residents and motorists and apologise for any inconvenience caused. “
