The company explained: “We’re carrying out important maintenance works on our equipment, this activity ensures that we can continue to provide a safe and reliable gas supply to local businesses and residents.”

The work started on June 2 and is expected to continue until Friday, August 22. During this period, traffic control measures, including multi-way signals are in place – which are likely to cause long queues at peak hours.

Motorists and residents are advised to plan ahead.
