Since the early hours of Tuesday 23 September, our engineers have been on site responding to a gas escape in Bowburn, County Durham.
Please be aware that if you’re in the Bowburn area, you may experience a smell of gas, which is normal during an escape of this nature. The gas supply to nearby homes and businesses has not been affected, and we anticipate that the repairs will be completed on Monday 29 September.
Our engineers were also called to reports of a smell of gas at Bowburn Primary School at 8am on Tuesday 23 September. On arrival, they found that the school had a gas escape which is not linked to our network. They made the site safe and then passed the escape over to the school’s own engineers.
