We're preparing to carry out essential gas network upgrades in the Shire Lane area of Downe.
This work will involve replacing our old metal gas mains with new plastic pipe to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply is delivered to nearby properties.
Our upgrade project will start on Saturday 15 February and is expected to last approximately nine days. During this time, Shire Lane will be closed to motorists for everyone's safety. A signed diversion route will be in place for affected motorists.
We recognise roadworks can be frustrating for the community. However, the new plastic pipe has a lifespan of approximately 80 years. This means that once the work is complete, Downe residents and businesses will be able to enjoy the benefits of a safe and reliable gas supply for many years to come.
