The North of England’s gas distributor, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing almost £300k to upgrade the ageing gas distribution network on Planetrees Road in Laisterdyke, Bradford.

The project is part of NGN’s ongoing development of infrastructure and will involve replacing a high-pressure gas main. This will ensure the continued, safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.

Due to begin on Monday 16 July, and scheduled to last approximately 10-weeks, the work has been planned in conjunction with Bradford Council to ensure it is carried out with as minimal disruption to traffic as possible. However, throughout the work there will be two-way lights on Planetrees Road.

Anna Mycoe, Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Networks said: “We have been working closely with Bradford Council to carefully plan these works in order to minimise any disruption to customers.

“We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these works and thank our customers for their patience and support in getting the work completed as quickly as possible.”

For further information about the project please contact NGN’s Customer Care Team on 0800 040 7766 or email: customercare@northerngas.co.uk.

Anyone that smells gas or suspects carbon monoxide should call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999. This line is in operation 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
