Gas supplies have been restored to around 170 properties in Hayton after water made its way into a gas main on Tuesday 22 December.

Engineers worked all day and night to systematically restore supplies and get everyone back on gas.

“Our engineers worked around the clock to get everyone back on gas and we’re pleased to confirm that supplies have been restored to all those affected.”
