A section of a major road in Milton Keynes is closed this afternoon (12/11) due to gas works maintenance.
Police have cordoned off a section of the V5 Great Monks Street, between the H1 (Greenleys Roundabout) and Stratford Road (Wolverton).
There are a number of gas engineers, and their vans, on site.
MKFM was contacted by a resident just after 3 pm who reported the strong smell of gas.
Several officers were also seen to be knocking on nearby house doors reportedly telling them to stay inside while they conduct the works.
