Emergency gas leak repair closes Manor Road in Teddington Emergency gas leak repair closes Manor Road in Teddington

A gas leak in Teddington has prompted emergency repairs, which closed Manor Road in both directions overnight.

The road was closed shortly after midnight today, and the closure was changed to a temporary four-way traffic signal system from 9.30am, which is being manually controlled by Southern Gas Networks in peak times.

The repairs are at the junction of Manor Road, Ferry Road and Teddington Park Road.

A council spokesman said: “There was a gas leak discovered in Manor Road at the junction of Ferry Road Teddington overnight last night.

"A road closure was put in place with a diversion via High Street Teddington. The timescale of these works is not known at present.”

London Buses has been informed of the issues.

Oh God! What's it with Teddington? My road was dug up by them for almost a year solid. Not one of us smelt gas, apparently they prowl around with probes that can sniff the most minute amount of gas.

According to the gas company, the culprits were the Birmingham-based road re-surfacing company used on the cheap by Richmond Council.

Hearsay, Culverin! Also, presumably you have documentary evidence for "on the cheap", like having seen how much it cost and how much other companies would have charged?
