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 in Hartlepool.

The ageing metal pipework is now being replaced by new, more durable, plastic pipes to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now, while getting the network ready for the future.

The work on Caledonian Road will start on the 7 October between the junctions of Oxford Road and Stockton Road. This work will last for approximately six weeks. It has been planned in collaboration Hartlepool Borough Council.

So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, some traffic management measures will be put in place.

As of the 7th October  there will be a road closure on Caledonian Road between the junctions of Oxford Road and Stockton Road, this will be in Place for up to six weeks and there will be a fully signed diversion in place. There will be access for residents only via Stockton Road only.

Steven Storey, 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 Hartlepool.

For further information about the work please contact NGN’s Customer Care Team on 0800 040 7766 or email: customercare@northerngas.co.uk.
