Gas blast houses to be demolished (North Tyneside) 
Two terraced houses at the centre of a gas explosion which left a woman dead and her 63-year-old husband seriously injured are to be demolished.
A spokesman for North Tyneside Council said: "A decision has been taken on safety grounds to demolish numbers 43 and 44 Grey Street, North Shields. These are both council properties.
"The demolition will take place when the investigation at the scene of the incident is complete."
A woman who was living at 43 Grey Street will be kept in temporary accommodation by the council until she can be rehoused, the spokesman added.
Private home owners have been advised to speak to their insurers. |
