LOSS OF GAS SUPPLY LITTLE HADHAM, NR BISHOP’S STORTFORD

Updated 10:30 - 13 Dec 2011

Gas was restored to the network in Little Hadham, near Bishop's Stortford last night.

Our engineers are now reconnecting supply to homes, focussing on the most vulnerable residents first.

If you are not in when we call to reconnect your supply we will leave a card with contact details so you can arrange a visit.

The loss of gas occured yesterday following an accident in which a vehicle left the road and hit a pressure reduction station – a brick-built garden shed-sized structure housing equipment that regulates gas pressure.

It is important that residents ask to see the identity cards of engineers calling at their homes.

Alternative electrical cooking and heating facilities are being provided to vulnerable customers. Every effort is being made to restore supplies as soon as possible.

An incident room has been set up in Little Hadham Village Hall where people can get information and updates on the operation to restore supplies.

If you are local resident and have any enquiries about the loss of gas supply please call 0845 605 6677. If you smell gas please ring the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
