Plans for an essential upgrade to the gas pipes in the Chester Road area of Mold have been rescheduled to commence on 21 July and barring any unforeseen circumstances, will complete by 8 August.

The work, which was originally due to start in May, will now take place during the summer to help minimise traffic disruption during the school holidays. The upgrade is essential to ensure the gas is kept flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people safe and warm for generations.

Last month members of the local community were invited to the drop-in session where they were able to view plans and direct any questions to members of the project team.

During the project Wales & West Utilities will upgrade gas pipes in Chester Road, Fford Pentre, and The Avenue.

Wales & West Utilities has liaised with Flintshire County Council to plan the work and traffic management will be required throughout. This includes:

  • A lane closure on Chester Road between 21 July – 1 August
  • A closure on Chester Road between 1 – 8 August

Wales & West Utilities Adam Smith is managing this gas pipe upgrade work. He said:

“This work has been rescheduled and will now take place during the school holidays, to help minimise disruption to motorists using the roads.

“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the area. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.

“We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future. We’ll have a team of gas engineers on site throughout the project to make sure our work is completed as safely and as quickly as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum.

“This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.”
