Gas bosses faced mounting questions last night as residents claimed the family of a four-year-old killed in a house explosion were among those who had complained about a leak.
Workers had been seen digging on the road days before the blast.
Dozens of emergency services teams and engineers continued to work last night to pinpoint the cause of the tragedy. And a cordon was also widened amid claims workers had found another leak and ‘elevated’ gas readings. It came as the child killed in the blast, which destroyed one house and damaged others, was named as Sahara Salman.
A meeting between residents and police, fire and council officials on Monday night led to angry exchanges after no gas bosses turned up.
