Wales & West Utilities has launched a project to upgrade gas pipes in Torquay's Barton Hill Road area, affecting a busy traffic area that leads to the Willows shopping zone. The initiative is crucial to maintain the safe delivery of gas for heating homes and powering local businesses. While roadworks might cause inconvenience, the company emphasizes the necessity of ensuring a secure and reliable gas supply for the community, especially as they prepare the network for hydrogen and biomethane transportation. The road closure at the Beechfield Avenue and Barton Hill Road junction from December 20 to January 5 is a part of this essential work. Wales & West Utilities highlights the importance of a resilient gas network in daily life activities and assures residents of their commitment to completing the project efficiently to reduce disruptions. Motorists are advised to adjust their travel plans during this period. For any inquiries, the company's Customer Service Team is available for assistance via phone or social media platforms.
