EMERGENCY gas works have begun on one of the main routes into Wimborne.
A spokesman for Southern Gas Networks said a non-pressurised steel pipeline sprung a leak along the B3073 Leigh Road during the afternoon today, and engineers are on the scene to make repairs.
"Because of the road it is on we have got temporary traffic lights in place and it might cause a bit of local disruption," she said.
"We are sorry for the inconvenience."
The works, near Parminter Drive, are expected to continue tomorrow but should be concluded before the weekend.
