Wales & West Utilities has completed its work to upgrade over 2,000 metres of gas pipes in the Manor Drive area of Kingskerswell on time.

The work, which started in October, was essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses and the gas emergency and pipeline service liaised with Devon County Council to plan the work.

Wales & West Utilities Roxanne Whittaker managed the work and said:

We are pleased to complete this work on schedule and would like to thank the local community for their cooperation.

While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Kingskerswell. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.

This work was essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.
