We look after more than 74,000 kilometres of pipes across our network. Making sure these pipes deliver your gas safely and reliably means that we need to upgrade or repair them at times. We know that roadworks can be frustrating, but our essential work keeps you, your family and local community safe.

Planned work
Tuesday 17 December - Festing Road, Southsea
We’re continuing emergency repairs to our gas network in Festing Road, Southsea, on the junction of Albert Road and Highland Road. Our work has been planned in close consultation with the local authorities.
In the early stages of this critical project we attempted to repair our gas main, but due to its condition we took the difficult decision to replace the main with new modern plastic pipe instead. We realise this is a traffic sensitive location, but replacing the main now will reduce the overall inconvenience of future repairs and ensure a safe and reliable gas supply to the local community for many years to come.
This is complex engineering project which has been delayed due the requirement of ordering specialist fittings for the gas main replacement. Once the repair is complete, the restoration of the road surface will also take longer than normal due to limited access to reinstatement materials during the festive period.
All going well, we’re aiming to complete the replacement of gas main by the end of January. We apologise for the disruption caused by this work and would like to thank the Southsea community for your ongoing patience and support.
Emergency gas pipe repairs
When upgrading pipes or installing a new connection, we can plan the roadworks in advance. But when safety is at stake we must respond quickly and efficiently, and this may mean having to carry out streetworks at very short notice or at night. Sometimes we have to start work before the information filters through to our map. When that happens, we’ll add that information here.
Tuesday 11 February - Cow Wynd, Falkirk
We're repairing our gas network in Cow Wynd, Falkirk following a gas escape and have been using a temporary one-way road closure.
From the morning of Wednesday 12 February, we will need to temporarily close the road in both directions for everyone's safety at its junction with St Crispins Place.
A signed diversion will be in place for road users and some on-street parking will need to be suspended.
We're sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your continued patience during this essential work.
Tuesday 11 February - Kings Drive, Eastbourne
We're continuing to carry out emergency repairs to our gas network along Kings Drive.
Our engineers started work on Tuesday 28 January and we've made several repairs to our affected pipes. However, we're still investigating further gas readings in the wider area.
Temporary traffic lights are in operation around our work area. These lights are being manually controlled to manage traffic flow along this sensitive route.
We hope to finish our work on or before Sunday 16 February.
Monday 10 February - A26 St Johns Road, Tunbridge Wells
We've been carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in the A26 St Johns Road, near its junction with Somerset Road.

The temporary traffic lights will remain in place until this work is complete. We know this is an extremely busy route and will complete our reinstatement as quickly as possible. All being well, the road will be fully re-opened ahead of this weekend.
Monday 10 February - A21 Farnborough Common, Orpington
Our engineers will be carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in the A21 Farnborough Common from 8pm tomorrow evening.
We'll be working in the middle of the carriageway near its junction with the A32 Crofton Road, which means the road will be closed here for the duration of our work. A signed diversion route will be in place for motorists.
It's too early to say how long our work will take to complete, but we're aware this is a busy route and will be working as quickly as possible.
Monday 10 February - Lindsaybeg Road, Glasgow
We need to carry out emergency repairs to our gas network in Lindsaybeg Road.
Due to the location of our gas main, and to ensure everyone's safety, we need to close the road between the junctions of Orchard Brae and Orchard Field.

Friday 7 February – Edinburgh Road, Dumfries
We’re carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network on Edinburgh Road, Dumfries.
Three-way temporary traffic lights are in place at Edinburgh Road’s junction with Milehouse Crescent for the safety of road users, pedestrians and our engineers. We are aware that there is already severe travel disruption in Dumfries due to various road works, so we apologise for the additional disruption and inconvenience this may cause. However, it’s essential these emergency works take place now for everyone’s safety.
It’s too early to say how long repairs will take to complete at this stage.
Thursday 6 February - A926 between Rattray and Alyth
Our engineers are carrying out emergency repair work on the A926 between Rattray and Alyth.
To ensure everyone's safety while we work, the road is closed and motorists are being diverted via the B954, A94 and A923.
Stagecoach Bus Services 57 and 57A will be subject to disruption during the closure; passengers should contact the operator on 01250 872772 in the first instance for more information.

We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause and are working as quickly as we can to have the road re-opened.
Monday 3 February - Ringwood Road, Longham
Following the work to repair the gas main on Ringwood Road in Longham, gas readings have been located within the opposite side of the road. Our engineers will be excavating the road to carry out repairs overnight.
For everyone’s safety and due to the location of the gas escapes in the road, we have temporarily closed Ringwood Road, Longham between Bear Cross roundabout and Longham Roundabout with immediate effect. We plan to reopen the road for 6.30am on Tuesday 4 February.
This closure means no through vehicle access past the work location and a signed diversion is in place via Northbourne roundabout, A347 back to Ferndown.
Vehicle access for properties and businesses within the road closure:
- Properties on odd side up to 109 and evens up to number 66 will be via Bear Wood Roundabout
- Properties on the other side of the road works will be accessed via the Longham roundabout
Once the road reopens, we will need to return with temporary two-way traffic lights while final reinstatement of the original excavations are completed.
We’re very sorry for the disruption these emergency works may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
