A gas leak in Sherland Road, Twickenham, has shut the road until further notice.

National Grid gas workers are on site to make the area safe.

An excavation is required between houses 12 and 19.

Sherland Road will be temporarily closed, although local access will be retained. Diversions are currently in place.

A Richmond Council spokesman could not confirm how long the works would last.

This follows emergency gas repair works on the same road from September 27, this year.
