Gas Works – London Road, East Grinstead
We’re writing to make you aware of our forthcoming upgrade of our gas network on London Road in East Grinstead. Our £74,000 project involves the essential replacement of old metal gas mains with new plastic pipe to ensure we continue to provide a safe and reliable gas supply to the local area. Our contractor Medway Civils and Utilities will undertake this work on our behalf.
So that we can minimise the impact of our essential work, we have carefully consulted and planned our works in partnership with West Sussex County Council. We will be working in London Road in two phases, starting on Monday 9 October. We will suspend our work in between these phases – from Friday 17 November to Monday 8 January – to avoid disrupting the town during the busy festive period.
We’ll be working in London Road from Station Road to St James’ Road for our first five-week phase. To ensure everyone’s safety, we need to reduce London Road to one lane around our work area in this section of the road.
We’ll restart our project on Monday 8 January. During this seven-week phase, we’ll need to temporarily London Road at its junction with Railway Approach. A signed diversion will be in place for through traffic via the A22.
We have also produced the attached leaflet to better explain our work in East Grinstead, I hope this gives a better insight into what our project involves
All businesses in the local area will remain open as usual. We do have a compensation scheme in place for local businesses which suffer a genuine loss of trade because of our work. Packs are available from our website, sgn.co.uk, via the Publications section.
I understand that roadworks can be frustrating. However, the new plastic pipe has a minimum lifespan of 80 years. This means that when the work is complete, East Grinstead residents will continue to enjoy the benefits of a safe and reliable gas supply for years to come.
