Wales & West Utilities is progressing well with its £825,000 investment work to upgrade gas pipes in the Allington Gardens area of Nailsea.
The work, which started during November last year, is essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations to come.
As part of this final phase of work it has been agreed with North Somerset Council that St. Mary’s Grove will be closed between the junctions of Engine Lane and White Oak Way between 16 September – 20 December. Access will be maintained for residents.
Wales & West Utilities Simon Lee is managing this work and said:
This will bring our work in the Allington Gardens area to a close and we’d like to thank the local community for their continued patience.
This project 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.
While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Nailsea. 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.
