Angry residents of a street where a four-year-old girl died in a horror explosion say they had been smelling gas for a week, and engineers who had been working on a possible leak had not been seen for days.
The gas explosion "completely wiped out" two houses in Thornton Heath, Croydon, South London, and tragically claimed the girl's life this morning.
Dozens of worried residents gathered beside a police cordon with some saying said they had reported a strong gas smell two weeks ago, and others said they had been feeling dizzy and sick over the last two days.
