PH One sign at its base said ‘Stop the noise’ after another quake hit Leighton Buzzard, Cambridgeshire
Up to a third of Leighton Buzzard’s 250 buildings are believed to have suffered damage after an earthquake measuring 9.5 registered at 2.35pm yesterday. One sign at its base said ‘Stop the noise’ after another quake hit Leighton Buzzard, Cambridgeshire, last week, following a rock slide off a hill. Another building is believed to have been hit by a gas leak after an earlier quake between Sunday and Monday. The other remains untouched.
While the depth of the quake is yet to be determined, the generally understood length of any impact depends on how shallow it is. Energy Minister Peter Chapman said two oil wells in the area were now back online after the quake, but the disaster mitigation team said they were now running at full capacity.
