Thank you to Ella and Abi who donated two of their Easter eggs to our hardworking engineers reconnecting homes in Silsden. We're doing our best to get everyone back on gas today and the support we've had from the community has been amazing. Thank you all.

#Didyouknow
that if 20%
#hydrogen
were to be injected into the natural gas grid across the UK, it could save around 6 million tonnes of CO2 every year, that's the equivalent of taking 2.5 million cars off the road!
The community spirit on display is constantly heartwarming. Harpreet and Baldev Singh, owner of Norwood House Nursing Home, have come over from Keighley with hot food for affected residents. They're in St James' Church Hall now if you want a plate full.
We have now reconnected the gas supply to all properties in
#Silsden
where we have been able to access and our engineers will continue to visit customers throughout the evening. Thanks for your continued patience and support. For more information visit
Blending hydrogen into the gas network across the UK could save around 6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. To find out more about its many benefits, watch our short and informative video below!
Thank you to everyone for your cooperation at Silsden today. Our engineers are continuing to work hard to restore the gas supply. If you need additional support please call 0800 040 7766
Another great day of support from volunteers, partners and the community, thank you. The customer support centre will be open to the public until 10pm, opening again at 8am tomorrow. Shower facilities are available at Keighley Leisure Centre from 9am until 5pm tomorrow.
