Wales & West Utilities is making good progress with work to upgrade the gas network in Stoke Gifford.
The work, which will be complete in August, is essential to keep the gas flowing safely and reliably to local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations to come.
Wales & West Utilities has liaised with South Gloucestershire Council and it has been agreed that three-way traffic lights will be in place on North Road until 19 August. Motorists are advised to allow extra travelling time.
Wales & West Utilities Ross O’Donnell is managing this gas pipe upgrade work and said:
While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Stoke Gifford. 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 is 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.
We will work as safely and as quickly as possible to finish the work, whilst keeping inconvenience to a minimum for local people and road users.
