Engineers from Northern Gas Networks are working hard to restore the supply of gas to properties in Haworth.

The gas supply to approximately 250 homes and businesses on West Lane, Hobb Lane and Lumfoot in Haworth was lost this morning due to engineering complications as a result of ongoing essential work to replace ageing metal gas mains in the town.

Paul Sadler, Customer Operations Area Manager, Northern Gas Networks, said: “Our Customer Care team has been speaking to residents in the area and a customer drop-in centre has been set up at the Old Sun Pub on West Lane, Haworth for customers who have any concerns or would like further information.”

“We would like to apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused and reassure everyone that we are doing all we can to restore the gas supply as quickly as possible.

“If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact an engineer on site or call the Customer Care team on 0800 040 7766.”

Anyone who smells gas should call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
