Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential work in Beeston to replace ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes.
From today (3 February 2025), there will be temporary traffic lights in place on Dewsbury Road at the junction of Admiral Street, outside the Spinning Wheel pub. These will be in place for approximately a week.
The project has been planned in collaboration with Leeds City Council. So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, some temporary traffic management measures will be put in place.
The work to replace pipes will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Leeds, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected.
Chris Reed, Central Operations Manager at Northern Gas Networks, said:
“We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it’s vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Leeds.”
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.
