The North of England’s gas distributor, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing more than £200,000 to upgrade the gas distribution network on Helredale Road, Whitby.

The project is part of NGN’s ongoing development of infrastructure and will involve replacing approximately 1.6km of existing metal gas mains with more durable plastic pipes. This will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.

The 17-week project has been carefully planned in conjunction with North Yorkshire County Council to minimise the impact caused.

Works will start on Monday 3 September and in order to complete works as safely and efficiently as possible it will be necessary to implement temporary traffic management measures.

From Monday (3 September) temporary traffic lights will be in place on Helredale Road and Stainsacre Lane for 14-weeks. The traffic lights will then move up Helredale Road in sections as the works progress.

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

Pete Knapton, Network Officer 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.”

From Saturday (28 July), Northern gas Networks (NGN) the North of England’s gas distributor, will begin essential gas mains repair work on the Askew Road (westbound), Gateshead.

The work, scheduled to last approximately five days, has been planned in collaboration with Gateshead Council in order to minimise any disruption to customers.

In order for engineers to complete the repair as safely and quickly as possible, it will be necessary to implement a road closure (westbound). The road closure will be in place from 8am on Saturday (28 July) until 6am on Wednesday 1 August. During this time a signed diversion route will be in place via Bensham Road and Cuthberts Street.

It’s expected the work will mean extended journey times so road users are advised to allow extra time for travel during the work.

Marc Grey, Site Manager at Northern Gas Networks, said: “We’re working closely with Gateshead Council to minimise disruption to road users, residents and businesses whilst this essential repair work takes place. We would like to thank everyone for their patience at this time and apologise for any inconvenience experienced.”
