The gas emergency and pipeline service will be upgrading more than 600 metres of gas pipes, starting on 21st July.
Wales & West Utilities says it has planned the work in consultation with Bath & North East Somerset Council and traffic management, including temporary lights, will be in operation as the works progress.
Work will centre on the following roads:
- Lansdown Lane from 21st July for five weeks
- High Street from 26th August for eight weeks
- Wellington Buildings / Trafalgar Road from 6th October for approximately three weeks.
Wales & West Utilities is inviting members of the local community to hear about the plans at a drop-in session which will be held at All Saints Centre in Weston High Street next Thursday, 10th July, between 10am and 4.30pm.
The plans will be on show and the project team will be on hand to answer questions.
Simon Lee, from Wales & West Utilities, is managing the work and said: “We’d like to see members of the local community at our drop-in event so that we can share plans of the work.
“We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future.
“We’ll have a team of gas engineers on site throughout the project to make sure our work is completed as safely and as quickly as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum.”
