A spokesman for the firm said: "We have been dealing with a gas escape in Priorslee Road, Shifnal, and thank members of the public for reporting it to us.

"We had been monitoring the leak, which didn’t result in any loss of gas supply in the area, and I'm pleased to say that a repair team visited the site on Tuesday, November 28, to complete the works and the road is in the process of being reinstated.

"Once that has been done, the traffic management system will be removed and the road will be fully open."
