The north of England’s gas distributer, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing £41,000 to upgrade the ageing metal gas distribution network in Bolton Lane, Bradford.

The major project is part of NGN’s ongoing development of infrastructure in the area and will involve replacing 50m of existing metal gas mains with more durable plastic pipes, to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.

The project, which will start on Monday 21 November and last approximately two weeks with an estimated completion date of 5 December, has been planned in conjunction with Bradford Council to ensure all works are completed with as little disruption as possible.

In order to complete the work safely and efficiently, a number of traffic management measures will be in place. There will be a road closure introduced on Bolton Lane at the junction of Kings Road, resulting in a no right-hand turn on to Bolton Lane for motorists, with a fully-signed diversion in place.

The inside lanes on Kings Road will also be closed near to the junction of Bolton Lane.  All traffic management will be in place from Monday 21 November for around two weeks.

Any bus stops within the works will be suspended and temporary stands provided.

Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times and engineers will be working Monday to Friday between 8am and 4pm.

Northern Gas Networks (NGN) has teamed up with welfare and debt advice service Auriga Assist this autumn, for a joint initiative aimed at alleviating money worries for vulnerable customers in Cumbria.

Reducing fuel poverty and educating around fuel awareness are key community promises of the gas transporter, whose network covers the north of England, northern Cumbria and most of Yorkshire.

NGN’s Customer Care team in Cumbria is now advising vulnerable customers to contact the free service or with the customer’s permission, asking Auriga to contact them.

NGN has teamed up with Auriga to ensure vulnerable customers in Cumbria get all the help they need.

NGN’s Head of Social Strategy Tom Bell said: “At NGN we’re constantly working hard to ensure all our customers stay safe and warm in their homes, particularly those facing hardship or struggling to access energy advice.

“Auriga Assist is a valuable service which can help to make life a little easier, so we’re delighted to be partnering them to ensure our vulnerable customers get that assistance, energy-related or otherwise.”

Carol Arnold, Director of Auriga added: “We believe working in partnerships maximises the help available to a customer and are therefore delighted to be part of this initiative with NGN. The assistance provided will not only have an immediate effect on people’s lives, but also a lasting impact and create sustainability.”
