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 Tingley.
The ageing metal pipework is now being replaced by new, more durable plastic pipes, to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area.
The work, which has been ongoing since March, is expected to take approximately 17 weeks to complete. It has been planned in collaboration with Leeds City Council.
So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the members of the public, some traffic management measures will be put in place.
From Monday 27 May there will be temporary traffic lights on Batley Road, starting at the junction of Woollin Avenue. These will be in place for approximately 4 weeks.
Advance warning signs will be displayed prior to works starting.
Craig Skinner, Operations 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 Tingley.”
For further information about the work please contact NGN’s Customer Care Team on 0800 040 7766 or email: customercare@northerngas.co.uk.
