A gas leak near New Cross Road resulted in the evacuation of around 100 people from 80 properties after an electrical fault damaged a service pipe. Emergency services and SGN responded to reports of a gas smell, closing the road and diverting traffic and several bus routes. Although many properties were evacuated, Chairbears Day Nursery remained open and communicated with families to manage drop-off flexibility. SGN continues to work on removing gas from affected properties but has not provided an estimated timeline for residents' return.
