The ageing metal pipework is being upgraded to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now while getting the network ready to transport alternative greener fuels in future.
Our 2-week project has been carefully co-ordinated with North Yorkshire Council will begin Monday 22nd July and is expected to be completed Wednesday 31st July.
For us to carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, we will need to implement temporary traffic lights on Skipton Road (between Bilton Grange and King Edward Drive) for the duration of the works.
Mark Mawhood, 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 Harrogate.
“We want to assure residents and road users that we will be working hard to complete this essential scheme as safely and as quickly as possible.”
For further information about the work 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.
