Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential work to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers around the Langley Moor area.

This is to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for decades to come, while also getting the network ready to transport alternative green fuels in the future.

The work will start on Monday 21st February on High Street (A690) Langley Moor and will last approximately two weeks.

For the duration of the works, four-way temporary traffic lights will be placed on the junction of the A690 High Street, Black Road and Littleburn Lane.

The traffic management is likely to cause some delays for motorists in this area for the duration of this project, especially at commuting times. Signs will be displayed for motorists before and during the works

While the majority of the work will be carried out in the street, engineers will need to access customer properties to complete the project and ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas.

Ashley Whitfield, Site Manager for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it is vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Durham.

“NGN is continuing to carry out its essential activities while following strict guidelines for safe distance working, where possible, and following good hygiene practices as we continue to live with coronavirus.

“We want to assure residents and road users that we will be working hard to complete this scheme as safely and as quickly as possible.”
While all of NGN’s work has now resumed, extra safety precautions remain in place to keep everyone safe while we continue to live with Covid-19.
