8pm update
We’re continuing to visit all affected homes to turn off gas supplies at the meter. So far, we’ve isolated over 100 properties and are aiming to visit the majority of households tonight.
We now have a customer centre at Woburn Village Hall, in Crawley Road, MK17 9QD. This will be open until 9pm today and will reopen tomorrow at 9am. Our staff will be able to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to restore your gas supply.
Our next update will be posted here tomorrow by 10.30am.
