Gas Outage Affects 2,180 Homes in Woodstock

A major gas outage in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, has left approximately 2,180 properties without gas since Tuesday evening due to an 'unplanned interruption' reported by Southern Gas Networks (SGN). Engineers have been dispatched to assess the damage and ensure safety by turning off gas supplies at the meter in affected homes. As of Friday morning, over 700 homes had their gas supply restored, and SGN continues to work diligently to reconnect the remaining properties. The outage is significantly impacting local businesses, with one owner claiming potential losses in the thousands. SGN has set up a customer center at Woodstock Community Hall to assist residents and has provided portable cooking appliances for vulnerable individuals. The company is yet to provide a definitive timeline for when all supplies will be fully restored.
