Gas leak: Harrogate told to reduce heating and showers again
Northern Gas Networks (NGN) has once again asked Harrogate residents to reduce their use of central heating and showers following last week's gas leak.
Engineers are on Ripon Road near the Co-op petrol station after customers reported low gas pressure in the HG1, HG2, HG3 and HG4 postcodes.
It is unclear how long the engineers will be on site working the fix the problem. In the meantime, the gas company has urged people to avoid all "non-essential use".
NGN did not specify the cause of the low pressure and loss of service but linked it to the major gas leak which started on Friday and continued into the weekend.

A spokesperson for Northern Gas Networks said:
The gas company has asked anyone with boiler issues or those who need help turning gas back on to call its customer care team on 0800 040 7766 and select option three.
However if you smell gas then call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
