Update: 29.04.2026
Over the past couple of weeks, the team has completed all mains replacement works in Elliott Road, which has now been fully cleared. Works have also been completed in Carew Road and Melfort Avenue.
Reinstatement works are now following behind, and we are aiming to have these roads fully reopened as soon as possible.
The team has now progressed into Brook Road, where works are being carried out under a road closure. They are expected to remain in this road for approximately a further two weeks before moving into Boswell Road.
The team is currently completing around 100–150 metres of gas mains replacement per week, and works in this area will continue for some time as the programme progresses.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation while these essential works are completed.
