Lesmahagow, Priory Road area

We've started essential gas network upgrades in the Priory Road area of Lesmahagow. This work has been planned in close consultation with South Lanarkshire Council and will ensure a continued safe and reliable supply of gas is delivered to nearby homes and businesses.

Working to keep you safe and warm

What we're doing

We'll be replacing our old metal pipes with new, reliable plastic pipe.

When we're working

Our work started on Monday 8 January and is expected to last approximately 10 weeks. To help minimise disruption, we'll be working extended hours where possible.

Road closure in Priory Road and Priory Avenue

A rolling road closure is required throughout the full duration of this project.

Signed local diversions will be in place for road users. Parking at Woodpark Primary School will be affected by this closure.

The road closure will move in sections from Priory Avenue into Priory Road as follows:

JAN

Closed between 23 Priory Avenue and 58 Priory Road

Priory Avenue/Priory Road will be closed from number 23 Priory Avenue to number 58 Priory Road. This section will be closed for four weeks, from Monday 8 January to Sunday 4 February.

JAN
22

Closed between 58 Priory Road and Priory Place

Priory Road will be closed from number 58 Priory Road to the junction of Priory Place. This section will be closed for four weeks, from Monday 22 January to Sunday 18 February.

FEB
12

Closed between Priory Place to the junction of Eastwood Drive

Priory Road will be closed from the junction of Priory Place to the junction of Eastwood Drive. This section will be closed for four weeks, from Monday 12 February to Sunday 17 March.

Other streets we'll be working in

Throughout this project we’ll also be working in the following streets without the need for temporary traffic lights or road closures:

Kelso Avenue

From Monday 8 January to Sunday 18 February.

Auldton Drive

From Monday 8 January to Sunday 25 February.

Abbeyhill Road

From Monday 15 January until Sunday 3 March.

Abbeyhill Crescent

From Monday 15 January until Sunday 10 March.

Balgray Road

From Monday 22 January until Sunday 17 March.

We understand roadworks can be frustrating. However, the new plastic pipe has a lifespan of 80 years. This means that once our work is done, Lesmahagow residents and businesses will be able to enjoy the benefits of a safe and reliable supply of gas for many years to come.
