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 the Halton area of east Leeds.

The project will begin on Monday 10 August at the junction of Selby Road/Chapel Street area, east of Leeds city centre, and will last for approximately four weeks.

The essential work involves replacing 500m of ageing metal gas main with new, more durable plastic pipes to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area. The current gas pipework has undergone several recent emergency repairs, so has now been prioritised for urgent replacement.

The project has been planned in collaboration with Leeds City Council.

In order for engineers to carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect members of the public, some traffic management measures will be necessary:

• Four-way temporary traffic signals will be in place on Selby Road at the junction of Primrose Lane from Monday 10 August for approximately two weeks. In order to ensure a smooth flow of traffic, these lights will be manually operated throughout the day.
• The works will then progress onto Chapel Street itself, and there will be three-way traffic lights at the junction of Selby Road and Chapel Street.
• It will also be necessary to suspend parking on Irwin Approach and Chapel Street at various stages throughout this essential work.  We know that this will inconvenience local residents and shoppers, so we have made arrangements for alternative parking. Drivers can use the car park at Christ Church Halton while the on-street parking on Irwin Approach and Chapel Street is not available to use. The suspended parking will also be staggered throughout the project to minimise any inconvenience caused.

Brad Metcalf, Site Manager for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We have worked closely with Leeds City Council to plan these essential works and would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused, however it is vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to homes and businesses in Leeds.

“NGN is continuing to carry out essential services whilst observing strict Government guidelines for safe distance working and following health and safety guidance during the Coronavirus outbreak.

“We want to assure members of the public and road users that we will be working hard to complete this scheme as safely and as quickly as possible.”

As well as NGN’s critical service (which include responding to gas emergencies, carrying out emergency repairs and critical maintenance activities) engineers are carrying out work to upgrade critical infrastructure, including planned work to replace ageing metal gas pipes, where most of the work can be carried out safely in the street.

Engineers will only request entry to a customer’s property if it is absolutely necessary in order to ensure their safety, the continuity of a safe gas supply or at a customer’s request. Customers can read more about our Covid Secure Promise at here.

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 the Chester Road area of Sunderland.

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.

The work will start on Monday 3 August and is expected to last for two weeks. It has been planned in collaboration with Sunderland Council.

To ensure the safety of colleagues, customers and the community, the majority of the work is being carried out in the street, following Government guidelines for safe distance working wherever possible. There are also extra safety measures in place to keep everyone safe and ensure that the work is Covid 19 secure.

So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, it will be necessary to close the junction of Chester Road with Ewesley Road, and also the junction between Chester Road and Abingdon Street. Chester Road itself will stay open, but drivers won’t be able to turn in or out of these junctions. Both junctions will be closed for the whole duration of the works, due to the location of the gas main.

There will be two-way traffic lights at the junctions with Ewesley Road and Abingdon Street, so that drivers can still use Chester Road. These temporary lights will be manned between 7am and 6pm seven days-a-week to help ensure a steady flow of traffic.

Signage for drivers alerting them to the closure and the traffic lights will be in place before and during the works.

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 Sunderland.

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 the Bradford Road area of Birstall in Kirklees, West Yorkshire.

The ageing metal pipework is now being replaced by new, more durable plastic pipes, in a project that will begin on Monday 20 July 2020.

The work is expected to last for nine weeks, having been planned in collaboration with Kirklees Council. It will take place on Bradford Road, Bridge Street, Mill Street and Smithies Moor Lane.

To ensure the safety of colleagues, customers and the community, the majority of the work is being carried out in the street, following Government guidelines for safe distance working wherever possible. There are also extra safety measures in place to keep everyone safe and ensure that the work is Covid 19 secure.

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. This is a complex project with a number of different phases, which are set out below:

• On Monday 20 July the existing six-way traffic lights at the junction of Huddersfield Road and Bradford Road will be replaced by temporary six-way lights. These lights will be manned between 7am and 7pm Monday to Friday, 8am and 5pm on Saturdays and 8am to 4pm on Sundays. This will help to keep traffic flowing smoothly in all directions.

• Also on Monday 20 July, the small road that runs between Bradford Road and Smithies Moor Lane will be closed until 6 August. This is a well-used road as it allows drivers to avoid waiting at the traffic lights at the junction ahead. Drivers will instead need to continue up Bradford Road to the traffic lights and turn left onto Smithies Moor Lane.

• From Monday 27 July, the junction of Smithies Moor Lane and Bridge Street will close and is due to re-open on 9 August. There will be a diversion in place to take drivers around the junction; further along Smithies Moor Lane, on to Huddersfield Road, then on to Mill Street and before drivers re-join Bridge Street on the other side of the closure.

• From Monday 10 August, a road closure will be in place at the junction of Huddersfield Road and Mill Street. There will be a diversion in place which will take drivers around the closure in a loop; along the open section of Huddersfield Road, right on to Smithies Moor Road, right again on to Bridge Street and then back on to Mill Lane. This diversion is expected to be in place until 14 September.

The diversions and road closures will be fully signposted before and during the works, but they are likely to add to travelling times so motorists should allow longer for journeys.

NGN will provide regular updates about the works and the different phases on our website, on our Facebook page and on Twitter @NGNgas.

Chris Nevison, Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works.

Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential work to investigate a smell of gas in and around the South Road area of Alnwick, Northumberland.

The smell is being caused by water entering an old abandoned gas main underground and then exiting through drainage in the area.

NGN teams are now safely removing the water from the old main using specialist technology and a tanker. After the water is removed, the team will carry out further investigation work to understand if it will be necessary to dig down to reach the main.

NGN’s Customer Care Team will contact local residents to let them know whether digging in the road will be required, and to answer any queries that they have.

To ensure the safety of colleagues, customers and the community, all of the work is being carried out in the street, following Government guidelines for safe distance working wherever possible. There are also extra safety measures in place to keep everyone safe and ensure that the work is Covid-19 secure.

Richie Manuel, Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused while we investigate and work to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

“Customers living and working in this part of Alnwick will be updated before any digging work at South Road begins.”

Engineers will only request entry to a customer’s property if it is absolutely necessary in order to ensure their safety, the continuity of a safe gas supply or at a customer’s request. Customers can read more about our Covid Secure Promise at here.
