From Monday 4 August our specialist contractor, WCB, will be working to upgrade the gas network in the Sanderstead Hill area of South Croydon.
The project involves us replacing the old, metal pipes with new longer lasting plastic ones to ensure local homes and businesses continue to receive a reliable gas supply.
For ease, the project will be carried out in sections, which include:
- 4 August for 3.5 weeks - engineers will start works along Sanderstead Hill, South Croydon from the junction with Sundown Avenue, to outside of property number 52. During this time, a road closure will be in place.
- 4 August for 1.5 weeks - engineers will also be working along Purley Downs Road, to the junction with Sanderstead Hill. They will also be working on Sundown Avenue outside property number 1 to the junction with Sanderstead Hill. During this time, a road closure will be in place.
- 15 August for 2 weeks - engineers will then be working along Farmfields, outside of property number 4 to the junction with Sanderstead Road, whilst also working on Purley Oaks Road to the junction with Sanderstead Hill. During this time, a road closure will be in place.
- 15 August for 2 weeks - engineers will be working along Sanderstead Hill and temporary two-way traffic lights will be in place.
Maintaining access
Whilst work is ongoing we will ensure:
- Pedestrian access and property access is maintained
- Local businesses and residents continue to receive deliveries. We ask that people speak to our site team regarding any specific access arrangements
- Emergency access will be maintained
We appreciate how disruptive traffic management is for residents and road users, and assure you that our engineers are committed to doing everything they can to complete these works as quickly and as safely as possible.
If you have any specific questions regarding these works, please email customer@sgn.co.uk.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience this work will cause, and thank local people for their patience and understanding.
