Grosvenor Road In Town Centre Reopens After Gas Leak

Police have reopened Grosvenor Road this morning, after a closure due to a gas leak.

Update 9:30am: Wales & West Utilities, the gas emergency and pipeline service have been in touch with us this morning about the Grosvenor Road issue. Wayne Griffiths, Wales & West Utilities Gas Emergency Service Manager for Wrexham said:

“We were alerted to reports of a gas leak at a property on Grosvenor Road in Wrexham this morning and immediately sent an engineer to the scene.

“On arrival, our engineer found gas leaking from damaged internal pipework in the property. Our engineer stopped the leak, and it is now the responsibility of the property owner to get a Gas Safe Registered Engineer to make a permanent repair.

“As a precaution, the emergency services briefly closed Grosvenor Road this morning. The road has now reopened.

“If anyone smells gas, thinks they have a gas leak, or suspects carbon monoxide poisoning, they should call us on 0800 111 999 and our engineers will be there to help, day or night.”

Update 8:35am: The road has since reopened.
