Oldfield Road to close for gas upgrades

Part of Oldfield Road in Westbury will be closed later this month for a project to upgrade gas pipes in the area.

The first phase of the project will take place from Monday 24th November to Friday 19th December, with a second phase planned for March next year.

The closure will affect Oldfield Road from its junction with Station Road to its junction with Phoenix Rise, and will be in place 24 hours a day. Access for residents and businesses will be maintained where possible, although delays are expected.

Simon Lee from Wales & West Utilities, who is managing the gas pipe upgrade work, said, “We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it 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.”

“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of this community. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.

“This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport green gases in the future.”
