Engineers from Northern Gas Networks (NGN) have been carrying out work to repair a gas main on Leam Lane (A194), Lindsifarne Roundabout, Jarrow.

Engineers arrived on site on Monday 19 July to carry out the initial repairs with the first part of the work completed on Tuesday 26 July. Engineers will return tomorrow evening (Tuesday 9 August) to complete the work.

In order to carry out the final part of the repair work safely and efficiently it will be necessary to close one outbound lane on the A194 (Leam Lane) while the work is carried out.

NGN has been working closely with South Tyneside Council to plan the work. In order to minimise the disruption caused to members of the public it has been agreed that the work will start at 8pm on Tuesday and engineers will work through the night.  Noise levels will be kept to a minimum throughout the night.

Both lanes will reopen from 6.30am on Wednesday 10 July and work will continue during daytime hours to return the road to normal.  This stage of the work will be carried out under the existing traffic restrictions which are already in place in the area, in order to minimise disruption caused to members of the public.

NGN is currently discussing plans to replace the ageing metal pipe to coincide with South Tyneside Council’s essential highways improvement works and will be keeping members of the public updated about future plans.

NGN Site Manager Mick Smith said: “We know that no one likes roadworks and would like to thank members of the public for bearing with us while we carry out this essential work which will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.”

Northern Gas Networks Customer Care team is available on 0800 040 7766 or you can email customercare@northerngas.co.uk.

The north of England’s gas distributer, Northern Gas Networks (NGN), is investing £130,000 to upgrade the ageing gas distribution network in Keighley Road near the village of Bradley.

The major project is part of NGN’s ongoing development of infrastructure in the area and will involve replacing 640m 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 begin on Thursday 18  August and last approximately eight weeks with an estimated completion date of Saturday 15 October, has been planned in conjunction with North Yorkshire County Council to ensure all works are completed with as little disruption as possible.

In order to complete the works as safely and efficiently as possible, it will be necessary to install two-way temporary traffic lights on Keighley Road at the junction of Ings Lane from Monday 26^th September to Saturday 15th October.  To minimise disruption to members of the public the lights will be in place between the hours of 7pm until 6am and will be manned in order to ease traffic flow. Keighley Road will be temporarily backfilled during the day to allow traffic to pass as normal.

Engineers will be working from 8am to 4pm five days a week at all other times.

All bus services will run as usual, however there may be some delays.  Bus companies will be advised of the work in advance and pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.

Ian Cunningham, Construction Services Area Manager for Northern Gas Networks said: “We have been working closely with North Yorkshire County Council to carefully plan these works in order to minimise any disruption to customers.

The North of England’s gas distributer, Northern Gas Networks (NGN) has published its Stakeholder Report for 2016 and is now inviting stakeholders to give their views on its performance and the chance to shape future priorities.

NGN is the gas transporter for the north of England, northern Cumbria and most of Yorkshire, bringing gas to homes and business across cities and towns including Leeds, Bradford, York, Carlisle, Newcastle, Sunderland and Huddersfield. It’s also the region’s rapid response team when a smell of gas is reported.

But as well as keeping the network safe and reliable, NGN works hard to make a positive difference within local communities, keep the customer at the heart of the business and develop new technology to save time and money. It’s also playing a key role in delivering new and sustainable forms of energy. All these achievements are clearly set out in the 2016 Stakeholder Report, which can be downloaded at northerngasnetworks.co.uk/ngn-and-you/

Packed full of useful information, the 2016 report details all the activities and achievements at NGN over the last 12 months. It also brings to life important facts and figures about NGN’s performance by including examples of its work and showing how collaboration with charities, businesses, local authorities, education providers, Government and other utility companies is benefiting the region.

From setting out its regulatory performance inside the Ofgem conditions to supporting vulnerable customers and local communities, and from developing innovative technology to shaping the future role of gas, the report is an opportunity to explore valuable information relevant to everyone with a stake in NGN’s performance.

From now until November NGN will be consulting on their priorities and future plans and are keen to hear everyone’s views, from the customers they impact to the people they work with every day like Highways Authorities, Local Authorities, Charities and Community Groups. This can be done by answering five key questions on a short online survey.

The survey can be completed at northerngasnetworks/getinvolved, or by sending feedback to stakeholder@northerngas.co.uk .
