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 Hartlepool.
The ageing metal pipework is now being replaced by new, more durable, plastic pipes to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now, while getting the network ready for the future.
As of the 24th of June, due to the location of the gas main being located in the road, we will need to close Linden Grove from the junction of Grange Road to the junction of Teesdale Avenue. There will also be closures on the junctions of Wilton Avenue, Clifton Avenue and Rosedale Avenue, to stop through traffic coming into the closed area. There will be access to residents only. It has been planned in collaboration Hartlepool Borough Council.
Steven Storey, Site 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 Hartlepool.”
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.
