AN electricity substation had to be evacuated and cordoned off after a gas pipe was severed this morning.
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service was called to the substation in Norton Road, St Peter’s, Worcester at 11.30am.
A spokesman said they discovered a “significant” gas leak and that they evacuated the substation and cordoned the area off.
National Grid and Western Power Distribution were also called to attend and fire crews left the scene just after 1pm.
