A spokesman for Cadent said: “Our engineers were called to a gas escape, following a collision between a vehicle and one of our regulators.
“Our team arrived very quickly and successfully isolated the gas supply so that repair work could take place.
"With this incident we received an increase number of calls reporting the smell of gas and we would like to reassure residents that our colleagues will investigate each report that we receive to ensure that there are no other leaks.
"Our concern with incidents like this is that there may be isolated and/or unrelated gas leaks in the area as well."
