Gas leak causes havoc

The lower part of Neville Street was closed on February 22 due to a compressed natural gas leak after a contractor struck a pipe at the Oaks on Neville site. The street was closed for over three hours from 9am onwards and some surrounding buildings were evacuated as the gas drifted towards Lucy Moore Park. Two appliances attended from the Warkworth Volunteer Fire Brigade and two police vehicles were present to manage traffic and scene safety.  Work resumed on the site shortly after the street reopened.
