EMERGENCY services attended a scene at Southend Road in Grays this morning (Thursday, 8 August) following reports of a gas leak.

Southend Road, between the junctions with Chadwell Road and College Road was closed while the leak was identified as a house on the College Avenue side of Southend Road.

Cadent gas engineers are now on scene (10am) and the road has been reopened.

The scene in 2022.

In February 2022 there was a gas explosion at the Bilash Restaurant, which was among the buildings evacuated this morning, though the source of today's leak was a house across the road.
