Many homes and businesses in the New Forest village of Brockenhurst are without a gas supply for a second day following a flooded gas main.

Brockenhurst College is closed again today as it continues to be without heating, hot water or cooking facilities.

Students have been told to work from home with the hope that the college will reopen on Thursday.

Engineers from SGN have worked throughout night to restore the gas supply and are currently continuing to remove water from the pipes.

The Balmer Lawn Hotel has also been left without heating or hot water.

Temporary traffic lights are currently in place on the A337 Lyndhurst Road between Balmer Lawn Hotel and Careys Manor Hotel.
