Residents have been able to return home

Homes were evacuated this afternoon (March 14) after a lorry crashed into a gas main, causing a suspected gas leak.

Bedfordshire Police had removed ‘a number of residents’ from Luton Road in Chalton and had a cordon in place as a precaution. People were asked to avoid the area while the emergency service attended to the area. The issue is now in the hands of the council and gas engineers, according to a tweet from the police.

The force thanked those affected for their patience.
