1 December - 14:20

This week the team has replaced a further 100m of the existing gas pipe in Malt House Close and have dug a 75m trench, ready to insert the new section of pipe. Work to reinstate the area will start on Monday 

Next week the team will insert the new pipe and move onto the next 150m section. 

23 November - 15:20

Unfortunately, this week we encountered some unforeseen engineering challenges which will cause delays to the current section of work.

Due to other underground utility pipes and cables restricting access to the existing gas pipe, we now need to re-design our planned engineering methods.

Rather than insert the new plastic pipe into the existing iron pipe, we anticipate the need to dig a trench the length of this section in order to replace the pipe.

Please note the team will be back on site once the new engineering plan has been agreed.

We will continue to provide updates as soon as we have them. Thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding.

17 November - 16:15

This week a further 90m of the existing pipe has been replaced and work to reinstate the area will take place over the weekend.

Next week work will begin on the next 60m section opposite the BP garage. This work will be completed be under three-way lights. Traffic from the garage will not be joining traffic under traffic control.

We are aware emergency  work taking place on water mains on Straight Road near the junction with The Avenue. These additional works will be completed under two-way temporary traffic lights, which will unfortunately add to travel times on Straight Road.

10 November - 09:20

This week the team has replaced a further 81m of the existing gas pipe and the area will be reinstated over the weekend.

The temporary traffic lights will be moved along to the next 100m phase of work on Monday morning.
