Residents have been allowed to return home after emergency services dealt with a gas leak in Downpatrick on Tuesday evening.

A Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) spokesman said a smell of gas was reported at about 20:46 GMT.

English Street, which was closed during the operation, has since reopened.

Police said residents had to leave for a number of hours to allow for safety checks and returned just before midnight.
