Crews monitoring gas odour on Talbot Street in Wheatley
Gas is no longer being detected but crews remain on scene on Talbot Street in Wheatley. Fire crews were called to 35 Talbot Street on Tuesday evening after a member of the public reported a strong odour in the area. No evacuation was ordered and anyone affected by the incident was spoken to directly. Meanwhile, the Wheatley public library at that address is set to reopen this week after a gas leak last week at the rear of the property last week. Hydrogen sulphide wad detected at the back of the library and forced an evacuation in part of the town. Hydrogen sulphide is the same gas responsible for an August 2021 explosion where two buildings were destroyed and several others were damaged.
