Worksop Explosion: Statement from Cllr Julie Leigh, Leader of Bassetlaw District Council.

Cllr Leigh said: “We have all been shocked and concerned by yesterday’s incident on John Street in Worksop, which has had a huge impact on this community.

“I would like to offer my condolences to the family and friends of the man who has sadly lost his life and offer my sympathy to everyone who has been affected by this tragic incident.

“I’d like to praise the swift actions of the emergency services and other agencies whose quick response has prevented any further loss of life. The painstaking search and rescue operation also ensured that wider residents of John Street and the surrounding area are safe and accounted for.

“In the time since this incident, officers from Bassetlaw District Council have been working tirelessly with other partners to ensure that families and individuals who have been evacuated from their homes have a safe place to stay.

“Around 50 people from 35 properties were evacuated, many of whom were able to be supported by family and friends.

“Last night, we were able to secure accommodation for nine households, while others were given emergency shelter overnight at Crown Place Community Centre.

“Our officers have been working hard again today and have found hotel and temporary accommodation for all those who have requested assistance as they cannot return to their homes this evening.

“As such, we have closed the emergency shelter for tonight and over the coming days will continue to work closely with Nottinghamshire County Council to support those directly affected, in addition to vulnerable people living close by who have been affected by the current loss of power.

“Officers from our Building Control Team also continue to work closely with the Emergency Services and provide specialist advice on the structural safety of the properties that have been affected by this explosion.

“I would like to advise all residents to continue to follow the advice of the emergency services and not to approach the scene until advised that it is safe to do so by the relevant authorities.”

More information will be provided as soon as it is available. You can find further updates on this incident by visiting:

Bassetlaw District Council is aware of a report published in the Daily Telegraph and other media outlets suggesting that people seeking asylum are being “transferred to a hotel and council accommodation in the Midlands” and that “Accommodation in Worksop is also being used, with the support of Bassetlaw Council.

The Council can confirm that it has had no contact with the Home Office, its asylum dispersal partner Serco, or East Midlands Councils about transferring people seeking asylum from the Bibby Stockholm to Worksop. Nor is the Council providing any accommodation for people seeking asylum.

The Council has no knowledge of how Worksop has been identified as a potential location to house asylum seekers from the Bibby Stockholm and has not been contacted by the Daily Telegraph to verify this information, which has sparked widespread speculation in some of our communities.
