Manx Gas would like to inform the public of the immediate closure of Christian Street in Ramsey due to a gas escape.

The road between West Quay and Parliament Street will be shut until further notice while Manx Gas investigates the source of the leak.

Manx Gas Sales and Marketing Manager Gary Cregeen said: “Our engineers are on site investigating reports of a gas smell. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused and will endeavour to re-open the roads as soon as possible. We will of course notify the public when the situation is resolved.”
