Johnstown gas works completed ahead of Tour of Britain

Major work to upgrade gas pipes in the High Street and Bangor Road area of Johnstown has now been completed.

The scheme, which started in July, was essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses.

It has completed on time and ahead of the Tour of Britain race, which will pass through the village in Wrexham on 4 September.

Wales & West Utilities Nick Williams managed this gas pipe upgrade work. He said: “We’re delighted that we have completed this work on time and want to thank everyone who lives and works in the area for bearing with us while we completed this essential work.

“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Johnstown.

“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 was 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.”
