The north of England’s gas distributer, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing £300k to upgrade the gas distribution network in and around Denby Dale Road near Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

The project is part of NGN’s ongoing investment in the gas infrastructure in the area and involves replacing 80m of existing metal gas mains with more durable plastic pipes, to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers for years to come.

Work at the site has now started and is expected to take three weeks to complete.

In order for the works to be completed safely and efficiently, is it necessary to introduce three-way temporary traffic signals on Denby Dale Road, between the junctions with Broadcut Lane and Hollin Lane.  The temporary signals will stay in place for approximately three weeks and will be manned between the hours of 7am and 7pm to help ease any traffic congestion. Your travel time may be affected, so please allow extra time for your journey.

All works have been planned in conjunction with Wakefield Council.

Russell Kaye, the Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Network, said: “We would like to thank all our customers for their patience while we complete these essential works. We are sorry for the inconvenience the works will cause.”

People in Withernsea are set to benefit from a £700,000 gas mains upgrade across the town.  Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributer for the North of England, has been busy replacing the ageing metal gas pipes to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for many years to come.

The gas mains upgrade programme, which has been planned in close partnership with East Riding County Council and involves upgrading 7.1km of gas pipes in the area.  Work started on Waxholme Road last June and has progressed well, with around 5km of modern pipework already laid.

Engineers are now set to begin work on Queen Street on Monday 6 January, which is expected to last for approximately five weeks.

The work will be carried out in the footpath outside the shops and businesses on Queen Street. These shops and businesses will remain open as usual and alternative pedestrian walkways will be in place to ensure continued access.

Northern Gas Networks Customer Care Officers have been door knocking homes and businesses to make them aware of the work.

Gerry Hart, Site Manager for Northern Gas Networks, said: “Gas plays an essential role in everyone’s daily lives and we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and there when you need it.

“We have closely planned the work with East Riding County Council to make sure that disruption is kept to a minimum and access will be maintained to all shops and businesses while we carry out   this stage of our essential work.

“This work will not only keep the gas supply flowing safely and reliably today, but it will ensure that the network is ready to deliver reliable and affordable green energy in future.”

The North of England’s gas distributor, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing £700,000 to upgrade the gas distribution network on Lotherton Lane in the Aberford area of Leeds.

The 16-week project is part of NGN’s ongoing investment in the gas infrastructure in the area and involves work to strengthen the gas pipework, to help ensure the continued, safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.

Work will start on Monday 6 January on Lotherton Lane and will last for approximately 16 weeks.

Due to the complexity of the engineering works involved, and to ensure they can be carried out carried out safely and efficiently, it will be necessary to introduce the following traffic management until the work is completed. The work will take place in two phases:

• Lotherton Lane will be closed at the junction with Copley Lane. This closure will start on Monday 6 January, and will be in place for approximately nine weeks.
• There will be a second road closure on Lotherton Lane to Copley Lane from Sunday 2 February and will be in place for approximately eight weeks.

A clear signposted diversion will be in place during the works, so that motorists can use an alternative route.

It is expected that these works may cause some delays to journey times, so motorists are advised to leave extra time for travel while the road closures are in place.

The work has been carefully planned in conjunction with Leeds City Council.

NGN’s Customer Care Officers have been door-knocking local residents and businesses to make

customers aware of the work, while on-site signage will advise motorists of the work taking place beforehand and during the project.

The North of England’s gas distributor, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing £200,000 to upgrade the gas distribution network in the Dean Clough area of Halifax town centre.

The project is part of NGN’s ongoing investment in the gas infrastructure in the area. It involves replacing around 500m of existing gas mains with new, more durable plastic pipes, to ensure a safe, reliable and continuous supply of gas to customers in Dean Clough for many years to come.

Work will begin on Monday 27 January 2020 and is due to last for approximately 10 weeks.

Due to the complexity of the engineering works involved, and to ensure the safety of our teams and members of the public during the project, it will be necessary to introduce the following traffic management whilst we complete this scheme.

• Dean Clough will be closed where it meets the junction of North Bridge and Northgate, from Monday 27 January. While this closure is in place traffic will be diverted to enter Dean Clough from the Shroggs Road direction;

• The works will then progress along Dean Clough, working towards Corporation Street. Once we are far enough from the junction of Northgate and Dean Clough, the road closure will be changed over to close the road at the junction with Corporation Street and traffic will be allowed to enter Dean Clough from the Northgate direction. This approach ensure access to parts of Dean Clough throughout the works.

Signage will be put up before the work begins, to inform road users of the traffic management arrangements above. A diversion around the works but giving access to parts of Dean Clough will be in place and clearly signposted.

It’s expected that journey times will be longer than usual, so all motorists and commuters are advised to leave extra time for travel.

The project has been carefully planned in partnership with Calderdale Council. NGN’s team will be on-site throughout to provide updates to affected businesses and residents.

Regular updates will be also provided throughout the works. They will be posted on the NGN website at northerngasnetworks.co.uk, on the NGN Facebook page @northerngasnetworks, and on Twitter @NGNgas.

Chris Nevison, Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Networks, said: “After safety, minimising the impact of road works on our customers is our top priority.

“Dean Clough is near the centre of Halifax, and we do appreciate that works being carried out close to the town centre and near the one-way traffic system will have an impact on road users.

“However, this work to replace the metal pipework in the area will mean a safe and reliable supply of gas for businesses in the area for many years to come. Our team has worked closely with the local businesses to keep them well-informed, and to make sure we cause minimum disruption to day to day running.

“I would like to thank all our customers for their patience while we carry out this essential project and apologise for any inconvenience the works may cause as we look to complete them as safely and quickly as possible. We have worked closely with the local businesses to make sure we cause minimum disruption to day to day running.’’

The North of England’s gas distributor, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing a total of £380,000 to upgrade the gas distribution network in the Elland Bridge area of Halifax. The works will begin on Monday 6 January and will take place in West Vale and on Halifax Road.

Both projects are part of NGN’s ongoing investment in the gas infrastructure in the area. It involves replacing just over 800m of existing metal gas mains with new, more durable plastic pipes, to ensure a safe, reliable and continuous supply of gas to customers in Elland Bridge for many years to come.

The works in West Vale will last for six weeks and are due to be completed by the end of the week beginning Monday 17 February 2020. On Halifax Road, the works will take approximately 10 weeks, and will be undertaken in two overlapping phases.

Due to the complexity of the engineering works involved, and to ensure the safety of our teams and members of the public during the project, it will be necessary to introduce the following traffic management while we work to complete both these projects.

Halifax Road

• From 6 January to 2 February, there will be two-way temporary traffic lights in place on Park Road, at the junction with Exley Lane. The traffic lights will be manned Monday to Sunday to help maintain a good flow of traffic, and
• From 19 January to 15 March, Halifax Road will be closed in one direction only. This will affect the stretch of Halifax Road between Park Road and Elland Bridge towards the A629 Calderdale Way. Traffic will only be able to flow in a westerly direction, towards Calderdale Way. The other lane in the opposite direction will be closed.

West Vale

Works will start at the four-way junction of Stainland Road and Saddleworth Road. They will then progress down Stainland Road finishing at the junction with Queen Street.

• From Monday 6 January, the current four-way traffic lights at the junction of Stainland Road and Saddleworth Road by the Co-op supermarket will be replaced by four-way temporary traffic lights. These will be in place for the duration of the work.
• Middle Dean Street and Queen Street in West Vale will be closed at their junctions with Stainland Road from Monday 20 January until the works are completed. A fully-signed diversion will be in place throughout this time to provide motorists with an alternative route.

For both these projects, it is expected that journey times will be longer, so all motorists and commuters are advised to leave extra time for travel.

The works have been planned in close partnership with Calderdale Council, and the NGN will be on-site throughout the work to provide updates to affected businesses and residents.

Regular updates will also be posted on the NGN website at northerngasnetworks.co.uk, on the NGN Facebook page @northerngasnetworks and on Twitter @NGNgas.
