Engineers from Northern Gas Networks (NGN) responded to a suspected gas escape on the A19 between Burn and Chapel Haddlesey YO8 8QF yesterday lunchtime (Sunday 15 July) and made the situation safe.

The NGN team worked quickly to identify the location of the leak and repair the pipe and are working hard to complete this work as quickly as possible.

The road closure has now been removed, however to ensure that engineers can continue to work safely, one lane of the A19 remains closed between Burn and Chapel Haddlesey and two-way temporary traffic lights have been put in place.

Mark Austerberry, Site Manager at Northern Gas Networks said: “We’d like to thank everyone for bearing with us while we carried out our investigations and worked to repair the pipe.

“The safety of members of the public is our priority and we’re pleased to confirm that we made good progress yesterday and we’ve now reopened the road to traffic.

“Two- way traffic lights are now in place while our teams complete the repair and return the road to normal.  This includes backfilling the excavations that we’ve dug and resurfacing the road. We’ll be working hard to complete this work as soon as possible, however this may take a few days.”

The gas supply to homes and businesses in the area is not affected.

Engineers from Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, have safety restored gas to around 250 properties in the YO16 4 area of Bridlington after they unexpectedly lost their gas supply yesterday lunchtime (Thursday 11 July).

Engineers have been working hard to reconnect all properties affected which involves going door to door to turn the gas supplies back on at the meter.

All customers are now back on gas where NGN engineers have been able to gain access: around 130 properties were reconnected to the gas yesterday evening (Thursday 11 July) and the gas supply to remaining properties was reconnected this morning (Friday 12 July).

If customers weren’t at home when our engineers called, we will have left a card asking them to call our team on 0800 040 7766 or alternatively they can speak to a member of the NGN team on site so that we can arrange for an engineer to come around and turn their gas supply safely back on at the meter.

Scott Kitchingman, Business Operations Lead at Northern Gas Networks said: “I’d like to thank customers for their patience throughout.

“Our engineers have been working hard and we’re pleased to have made really good progress overnight and this morning, with supplies now restored to all properties, where we’ve been able to gain access.”
