Several Burnham-On-Sea residents were caught up in disruption at a Bridgwater industrial estate on Monday after a gas leak.
Workers on the Express Park industrial estate had to down their tools for two hours and several buildings were evacuated after builders apparently broke a gas pipe near to Tool Station.
One Burnham-On-Sea reisdent who was on the site at the time said: “The park was closed for about an hour and a half and many of us had no option but just to sit and watch the world go by.”
