Residents on a central Auckland road have been told to close their doors and windows following a gas leak.
A text was sent just after midday to residents of Meola Rd, which links the suburbs of Westmere and Pt Chevalier.
“Attention residents, we regret to inform you that due to a gas service strike in our area, we advise everyone to immediately close all doors and windows as a precautionary measure.
“Please refrain from using any naked flames until further notice. Fire brigade is on site.
“Thank you for your co-operation and understanding during this time.”
