ROADS are expected to disrupted for two weeks in Menston as Northern Gas Networks (NGN) carries out essential work to maintain a reliable supply of gas to customers in the area.

The aging metal pipework is 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 Saturday, October 22, and is expected to last for two weeks. It has been planned in collaboration with Bradford and Leeds Councils.

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.

Four-way manned traffic lights will be placed on the following:

• Buckle Lane (outside the ambulance station)

• Bingley Road

• A65 Bradford Road

While the majority of the work will be carried out in the street, engineers will need to access some customer properties to complete the project.

Chris Nevison, Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We’d like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works.

“We will work hard to complete this scheme as safely and as quickly as possible.”
