Wayne Grills, owner of Pizza Planet in Kingsbridge, has shut his restaurant due to its reliance on gas.
“We had to close, we cook on gas like many restaurants and takeaways,” he said.
“For us that was it, the minute we knew we didn’t have gas that was it, we were shut.
“Usually the last weekend before people go back to school and work is pretty busy, Saturday was looking to be just as busy, but the plug was pulled.
“I did know fairly early on what the situation would have to be.
“Knowing the thousands of properties that will have to be visited by engineers, it is going to be a big task.”
