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 to transport alternative greener fuels in the future.

The work will start on Monday the 11^th of September 2023 and will take approximately 26 weeks. We will be upgrading the Gas Network along Benton Park Road from the junction of Haddricks Mill Road to the Junction of Glaisdale Road and the adjoining junctions.
