Wales & West Utilities is thanking the local Penryn community for their patience after finishing a project to upgrade gas pipes in the town's West End area early.

The work, which was originally due to complete at the end of April, was essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations to come.

Wales & West Utilities worked closely with Cornwall Council to plan the work.

Wales & West Utilities Abby Smith is managing the gas pipe upgrade work and said:

We’d like to thank the local community for bearing with us whilst we completed this essential work.

While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the wider Cornwall area. 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.
