Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is to carry out essential work in Bridlington to replace the ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes.

This work will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Bridlington, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected.

The project, which is expected to last until around the start of February, has been planned in collaboration with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, some traffic management measures will be put in place.

From Monday 5 January, Marton Road will be closed between the junctions of Watsons Avenue and Marton Avenue. A fully signed diversion will be in place for motorists, and residents of Marton Road will still be able to access their properties during the work.

Chris Keith, 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 Bridlington.

“We will be working hard to complete this essential scheme as safely and as quickly as possible.”
