IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM WALES AND WEST UTILITIES
We still have a high number of properties in Salcombe where we have not been able to gain access. This means we have engineers still working to gain access to them in order to switch the gas valve off.
We would ask that any landlords, letting agents or designated key holders for properties in Salcombe and are aware the property is empty get in contact with us immediately to discuss ways for us to gain access. This can be done by approaching one of the many engineers we have working in the area directly or by calling us on 0800 912 2999.
If anyone does smell gas in the area, then please contact the National Gas Emergency number on 0800 111 999.
