On May 15, 2021, workers from the British Gas Southern Region Rorstein team investigate a gas leak in Oxford, England. The leak was discovered after the Park End Street road was resurfaced at a cost of 14,000 only six months prior. Oxfords Deputy City Engineer, Mr. Vic Conduit, described the area as “turning it from a lovely smooth carriageway into a patchwork quilt.” There is now a 12-month agreement in place not to dig the road up again unless in emergency situations.On May 15, 2021, workers from the British Gas Southern Region Rorstein team investigate a gas leak in Oxford, England.
