We have appointed contractor Forefront Utilities to upgrade our gas network in the Kidbrooke Gardens area of Greenwich. They will work to replace ageing metal gas mains with new polyethylene (plastic) pipes. This is part of a wider upgrade to replace old cast iron infrastructure with safer, longer-lasting materials to ensure the local community continues to receive a safe and reliable gas supply.
