Hundreds of residents evacuated after a fatal gas explosion in south London have been allowed to return home.
An SGN spokesman said: "Our engineering teams have now completed work in Galpin's Road, Thornton Heath, to disconnect a section of our gas network in support of the ongoing police investigation.
"Residents will start to return home tomorrow in an operation managed by Merton Council, however this will take time due to the need to complete safety checks on all properties." Merton Council said almost all residents, most of whom have been staying in hotels for more than a week, would be returning from Wednesday, with the exception of those from a handful of houses closest to the blast.
One house was completely destroyed by the explosion, while two neighbouring terraced homes suffered extensive damage and several more had smashed windows.Image source,
