Residents are hoping to return home to an apartment block in Maidenhead town centre today after 'very high levels' of carbon monoxide were detected over the weekend. Housing Solutions, which helps manage the borough’s affordable housing, provided an update to residents on Sunday about the suspected carbon monoxide leak. “These boilers may have contributed to the carbon monoxide emissions, however, this has not yet been confirmed and remains under investigation.”The housing association said there is currently no carbon monoxide present in Providence House. The letter from Housing Solutions added: "Based on the information available today (Sunday), our preference is to support residents to return to their homes on Monday, January 19." Carbon monoxide detectors will be installed in flats as a precautionary measure and firefighters from the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service will be on hand to offer safety advice.
