Seven weeks of roadworks are set to start on Ripon’s Clotherholme Road from Monday.

Work is being carried out by Northern Gas Networks to replace ageing pipework with plastic pipes.

It will see temporary traffic lights in place on Clotherholme Road for seven weeks from July 18.

Northern Gas Networks said in a statement that although most work will be carried out on the road, engineers will need access to customer properties to complete the project and ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas.

Russ Kaye, Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Networks, said: 

“We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it is vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Ripon.
“We want to assure residents and road users that we will be working hard to complete this essential scheme as safely and as quickly as possible.”
