Evacuation After Gas Leak Fear

MEMBERS of Thame Choral Society and Thame Youth Club, were evacuated from their premises at Lord Williams’s school, Thame, last night, after a strong smell of gas was reported to the emergency services.
As a safety precaution, everyone was sent home, but no British Gas or other emergency vehicles were seen to arrive on site.
No further information as to whether the incident was a hoax or a genuine emergency is known at this time.

Earlier in the evening the school had been full of visitors for an Upper school parents’ evening but most of them had gone home by the time of the incident.
