Victims of the gas flood that disrupted the lives of hundreds of people Stannington have finally met with Yorkshire Water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In December 2022, hundreds of homes in Stannington faced freezing winter temperatures with no heating or hot water, following a disastrous gas flood in the area. Five months on, they have finally sat down with Yorkshire Water to resolve their issues and claim their compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mary Aston, of Holme Oak Way, a volunteer at St Wilfrid’s Centre in Sheffield, said: “It was horrible, I had no heating from the 2nd to the 22nd December.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs Aston organised the campaign to get Yorkshire Water to Stannington. She has led two public meetings, gathering the community together to get their voices heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs Aston said: “Steps are being taken and I am happy with what Yorkshire Water are doing now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It may have taken a long time but I am hoping that this is the beginning of the end.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
