Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is to carry out essential work in Holbeck, Leeds 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 Leeds, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected.
The project, which is expected to be completed around the end of April, has been planned in collaboration with Leeds City Council. So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect members of the public, some traffic management measures will be put in place.
From Monday 2 March there will be rolling temporary traffic lights starting on Top Moor Side at the junction of Recreation Grove, finishing on Domestic Street at the junction of Pleasant Street. The lights will be in place for the entire duration of the project. To minimise disruption, they will be manned during peak times.
Chris Reed, Central Business Operations Lead for 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 homes and businesses in Leeds.”
