The gas emergency and pipeline service has liaised with Flintshire County Council to plan the work, which will start at the junction of Duke Street and progress through to Maes-y-Dre Avenue.

It has been agreed that rolling traffic lights will be in place as the work progresses.

Wales & West Utilities Matthew Hughes is managing this gas pipe upgrade work and said:

“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Flint. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.

“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.

“We will work as safely and as quickly as possible to finish the work, whilst keeping inconvenience to a minimum for local people and road users.”
