NEWARK residents have been allowed to move back into their homes following an explosion in the area.
The incident which took place in Wright Street, Newark on Sunday June 19, destroyed one property and killed two people.
Families were evacuated and while some were allowed to return last Wednesday, others were asked to wait further until electricity and gas checks had been made.
Five properties adjacent to the site of the explosion remain unoccupied but remaining neighbours on Wright St and Private St have been allowed to return.
Residents have been praised for their efforts to aid emergency services.
Among the efforts, a baby and a young boy were passed out of a window while four people dragged a man from under rubble.
They are continuing to raise money for the families affected.
