We're carrying out essential upgrades to our gas network in Hithercroft, Wallingford. This work has been planned in close consultation with the local authorities and will ensure a continued safe and reliable gas supply to nearby homes and businesses.
On Monday 3 November, we began work to replace our old metal gas mains with new plastic pipe along Hithercroft in Wallingford. Our work is expected to last approximately 26 weeks.
For everyone’s safety around our work area, we’ve temporarily closed Hithercroft from its junction with Hithercroft roundabout/West End to where Hithercroft meets the sharp bend. A signed diversion is in place for road users.
This temporary closure means:
- Hithercroft will be closed to through vehicle access in either direction for the duration of the work.
- Vehicle access to properties within the closure will be maintained, with all access initially from Westfield Road direction. We are working under a rolling closure starting at the roundabout and access will change as work progresses along the road. Our team will keep residents and businesses informed of changes to access.
- Bin collection days will remain unchanged unless you hear otherwise from your service provider
We will reopen the road from Tuesday 23 December to Monday 5 January.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience our work may cause and thank the local community for their patience.
