Wales & West Utilities Programme Controller for Cardiff, Adam Smith said;
“We will be working in the Merthyr Road area of Whitchurch to upgrade the gas network. This £725,000 investment is essential to keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future.
“Our work will start this week (wc 21 October) and barring any unforeseen circumstances will be completed by March 2020.
“After feedback from the local community, we have re-planned our work to keep disruption to local people and local businesses to a minimum. Between now and Christmas, we will be working on residential streets in the area, and work on The Philog and Merthyr Road will be rescheduled after Christmas.
"We know working on roads like these is not ideal, but this work really is essential to keep the gas flowing to heat homes and power businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future and can play its part in delivering reliable and affordable green energy.
