A major scheme to improve the gas supply in Warwick town centre is due to re start next month.  The work, which was suspended over the Christmas holiday, is the final phase of the scheme to renew the old gas mains in the town centre and make sure residents and businesses continue to enjoy a safe and reliable gas supply.

On 6 February, engineers will begin replacing the remaining pipes in Market Place before moving into Market Street at the beginning of March.  The work is expected to take around eight weeks to complete.

National Grid project manager Mick Brettle said:  "This project started at the beginning of 2011 and we are now coming to the final phase.  These pipes have come to the end of their working life and need to be replaced make sure the gas supply in this area remains safe.  We hope to complete the work without causing any disruption to traffic however, during the March it might be necessary to close Market Street."

The work will be carried out on behalf of National Grid by Enterprise PLC and is part of the company's 30 year programme to improve the safety and reliability of the gas supply network.
