Northern Gas Networks to carry out essential upgrade work to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply in Stockton-on-Tees

Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is to carry out essential work in Stockton-on-Tees to replace the ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes.

This work will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Stockton-on-Tees, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected.

The project, which is expected to last until around the end of August, has been planned in collaboration with Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.

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

To minimise disruption, the work will begin on Friday 27 June after the school exam period. Temporary traffic lights will be in place on Bishopton Road West from the junction of Victoria Road. The lights will move east towards Our Lady & St Bede School.

The next phase of the work, starting on Saturday 19 July, will also involve temporary traffic lights at the four-way junction of Bishopton Road West and Oxbridge Avenue close to Sainsbury’s. These four-way lights, which will replace the normal lights at this junction for the duration of the work, will move west back towards Our Lady & St Bede School.

There will also be a road closure starting on Monday 28 July on Bishopton Road West between the junctions of Barlborough Avenue and Whitehouse Drive for approximately two weeks. Buses will be guided through the temporary closure of Bishopton Road West during service hours to maintain existing operations.

The final phase of the project will involve a road closure on St Mark’s Close, off Bishopton Road West, with this likely to take place around the middle of August.

Advanced warning signs will be in place ahead of the work, and fully signed diversions will be in place throughout the whole project.

Jack Hepplewhite, Site Manager at Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it’s vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Stockton-on-Tees.”

Lisa MacDonald, Customer Care Office at Northern Gas Networks, said: “We have worked very closely with Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council to minimise disruption for this work, which is why the work on the busiest road starts after the school exam period.

“We’ve also been very active in the community speaking to residents, schools, businesses and the local football club about the work. This project is another example of how we’re always looking to collaborate with local stakeholders to minimise disruption to our customers and the local community.”
