Gas leak forces evacuation

Traffic was disrupted and people were evacuated from an area near the Hub Hornby after contractors discovered a gas pipe leaking this afternoon.

A Hub Hornby spokesman said while contractors were demolishing the Hornby Junction Buffet Restaurant on Carmen Rd, they discovered a disconnected gas pipe which had been leaking into the building.

A  50m cordon was set up and half of Carmen Rd was closed, which caused traffic disruption.

Fire and police attended.

No-one was injured.
