The North of England’s gas distributor, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is carrying out essential works to upgrade the gas distribution network in the Papcastle area of Cockermouth. This work will affect the areas around The Mount, Papcastle Road and Gote Road.

The £350,000 project is part of NGN’s ongoing investment in the gas infrastructure in the area and involves replacing around 2.5km of existing metal gas pipes with more durable plastic equivalents. This will ensure the continued, safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.

The project will last for approximately 20 weeks in total and is due to start on Monday 7 October 2019. It has been carefully planned in conjunction with Cumbria County Council. NGN engineers will be working hard to complete the work as quickly as possible and will provide regular updates throughout the project.

In order to carry out the works safely and efficiently, it will be necessary to introduce some traffic management measures. The work has been planned to be carried out in phases, to minimise the disruption caused. These are as follows:

• A road closure from the Belle Vue pub on Drovers Lane up to Castle Gardens near The Mount, starting on Monday 7 October. The closure will be in place for approximately three weeks;
• When this first phase of work on Drovers Lane is complete, a one-way only system will be introduced on The Mount. NGN expects this phase to be in place for approximately six weeks, and;

• On Papcastle Road between Derwent Mews and the Old Pump House two-way traffic lights will be in place for approximately another five weeks.

Road users are advised to allow extra time for their journeys as travel times may be affected, and to use alternative routes if at all possible.

Richie Manuel, Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We have been working closely with Cumbria 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.”

In the week starting Monday 30 September two-way temporary traffic lights will be in place on Hollin Lane between the junction with Howard Crescent and the junction with Grove Park. These lights will remain in place for two weeks.

Phase 2:
On Monday 14 October, a road closure will begin further along Hollin Lane between the junctions with Grove Park and Milton Close, and will remain in place for approximately two weeks. A second closure will then be introduced on Hollin Lane on Monday 28 October between the junction with Milton Close and with Primrose Lane and will stay in place for three weeks. This closure will then progress up Hollin Lane to the junctions with Primrose Lane and Winden Close, beginning on Monday 18 November and will remain in place for approximately two weeks.

Phase 3:
The last road closure will start on Monday 4 December between the junctions with Winden Close and Denby Dale Road for a final two weeks.

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