Scarborough homes evacuated after gas pipe leak

9:44am Wednesday 8th February 2012 in News

HOMES were evacuated in Scarborough after gas began leaking from a broken mains pipe.

Work was still going on last night to fix the leaking pipe in Seamer Road, and an evacuation centre was set up at Falsgrave Community Centre.

Residents living in adjoining side streets were being allowed to return to their homes under escort last night, however, some residents of Seamer Road were still being kept away.

Seamer Road was closed to traffic and drivers were being advised to avoid the area.
