From Monday 1 April the North of England’s gas distributor, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), will start work to upgrade the ageing gas distribution network on Wayside Walk, Harrogate and surrounding streets in the area.

The £500k 30 week project is part of NGN’s ongoing investment in the gas infrastructure in the area and involves replacing 6km of existing metal gas pipes with more durable plastic ones. This will ensure the continued, safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.

In order to carry out the work safely and efficiently it will be necessary to install temporary traffic management at various stages throughout the project.  NGN is working closely with North Yorkshire County Council to plan the work and associated traffic management to minimise the inconvenience caused and will share more details as soon as they are available.

Shops and businesses in the area will remain open as usual throughout the project.

Richard White, Business Operational Leader for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We have been working closely with North Yorkshire County Council to carefully plan these works and will be doing all we can to minimise disruption to customers.

“We’d like to apologise for any inconvenience customers may encounter and thank everyone for their support as we work to complete this project as safely and quickly as possible.”

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.

The North of England’s gas distributor, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), will be investing £200,000 to upgrade the gas distribution network at Hambleton Place, Thirsk and surrounding streets in the area.

The project is part of NGN’s ongoing investment in the gas infrastructure in the area to ensure the continued, safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.

Work will begin on Monday 1 April 2019 and is scheduled to last for approximately 20 weeks.  In order for works to be carried out safely and efficiently, it will be necessary to install temporary two-way traffic lights on Sutton Road for three weeks, from the junction of Byland Avenue to the junction of Hambleton Place.

The project has been carefully planned in conjunction with North Yorkshire County Council to minimise any disruption caused.

It’s expected these works will extend journey times, so motorists are advised to leave extra time for travel whilst the temporary traffic signals are in place.

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. Regular updates will also be available on NGN’s website northerngasnetworks.co.uk, Twitter @NGNgas and Facebook @northerngasnetworks.

Shops and businesses in the area will remain open as usual throughout the project.

The north of England’s gas distributer, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing to upgrade the gas distribution network in Ackworth Road, Featherstone.

The project is part of NGN’s ongoing development of infrastructure in the area and involves replacing 1km 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.

In order for the first phase of the work to be carried out safely and efficiently it is necessary to install two-way temporary traffic lights on Ackworth Road between the junction of Went Lane down to the junction of Westwinds from tomorrow (7 March) for four weeks.  The lights will be manually operated between 7am and 7pm to help to manage traffic flow.

All works have been carefully planned in conjunction with Wakefield Council to minimise the disruption caused.

Russell Kaye, Business Lead for East Riding at Northern Gas Networks said: “We would like to thank all our customers for their patience while we complete these essential works.

Engineers from Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributer for the North of England, completed a temporary repair to a gas main on Change Lane and West Lane, Southowram in December after water made its way into the gas network.

Engineers have been continually monitoring the site while work has been underway to plan a permanent repair, which will involve replacing the existing pipe with 500m of new gas main to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.

Work is planned to commence on Saturday 2 March and will be completed in stages while further investigations are carried out to locate and extract the water. Work is expected to be complete by Sunday 10 March.

In order to carry out this work safely and efficiently the road closure will remain in place on West Lane and Change Lane.

Chris Nevison, Business Operations Lead at Northern Gas Networks said: “The safety of members of the public is our priority.  Unfortunately, when water enters our gas mains it can take time to fix and we would like to thank customers for bearing with us while we carry out this essential repair work.

“We know that no one likes roadworks and would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to motorists in the area for any delays they may have experienced. We are working hard to get the road back to normal as soon as possible.”
