Burst gas main - Dudley Road, Oldbury

Cadent have successfully isolated the gas, allowing for repair of the main.

Gas monitors have been used to ensure that the area is safe and we are informing residents that they may now return to their homes.

Thank you to all those evacuated for your cooperation and understanding and to the Shri Venkateswra Temple for giving residents somewhere to stay during the incident.

Dudley Road will remain closed, whilst repair work on the main is carried out.

This was an example of excellent interagency working leading to an effective and efficient response.

The scene has been left with Cadent who are carrying out the repair.
