Project overview

We are upgrading the gas pipes along Hollow Lane, Pipers End, Morella Close, Gorse Hill Road, Heath Rise, Gorse Hill Lane and Trotsworth Avenue  to ensure you continue to receive a reliable gas supply for many more years to come. Our aim is to replace all the metallic mains and service pipes in these locations. This means that we will need to excavate holes in the ground to access the gas pipes in order to inspect and replace them.

We will keep you updated as the project progresses.
