Sidmouth: More Sidbury road closures planned for gas pipe works

Gas pipe works are set to begin in the Furzehill and Higher Greenhead areas of Sidbury next month.

Energy company Wales & West Utilities will begin the £45k works on Monday 11 April and aims to finish by the end of May.

There will be a road closure on Higher Greenhead from 25 April to 13 May with a diversion route.

For works taking place on Furzehill, the company has said it will contact people directly affected.

The £165k works in the Cotford Road area have now been finished.

Wales & West Utilities spokesperson Jake Sami, who is managing this gas pipe upgrade work, said: "We'll have a team of gas engineers on site throughout the project to make sure our work is completed as safely and as quickly as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum.

"This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future."

The company is inviting people to get in touch if they have questions on 0800 912 2999, social media or at [email protected].
