Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the North of England’s gas distributor, are working on an essential high pressure gas main repair on the A693, Hill Top, Stanley to ensure the safety and integrity of the gas network. Due to the location of the gas main in the road, we have temporary four way traffic lights on this road near the allotments. We expect the work to be completed by the 29th April.
Kristian Ainsworth, Site manager at Northern Gas Networks, said “The safety of our customers and engineers is our number one priority, and erecting temporary traffic lights is essential in ensuring the public and our workforce stay safe at all times.
“We would like to thank customers for their patience at this time and apologise for any inconvenience experienced. We will keep businesses and road users updated throughout the work.”
For further information about the project please contact NGN’s Customer Care Team on 0800 040 7766 or email: customercare@northerngas.co.uk.
Anyone that smells gas or suspects carbon monoxide should call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999. This line is in operation 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
