Works by SGN to replace approximately 6500m of old, metal gas mains with new plastic pipe are still ongoing and are progressing well. This work is ensuring a continued safe and reliable gas supply to the local community. It will also ensure the network is ready for green sources of energy, such as hydrogen, in future.
The final phase of works are scheduled to commence on the 5 January 2023 for approximately 10 weeks. During this time Blairforkie Drive at the junction of Henderson Street will be closed and a local diversion route in place. Temporary signals will be in place during this time, these will cause delays during busy peak periods. Manual control will be in place at this time.
Parking suspensions will also be in place throughout works. The project will be carried out on a phased basis not all streets will be affected at once.

If Blairforkie Road has to be closed, then it should have been ‘planned in’ to sort the drainage problems here. Since August 2022 the road has been flooded 5 times. Last week is was too dangerous to walk out of Blairforkie Drive due the deep floodwater and not being aware of what was underfoot. This is shocking and need to be sorted!
The work on the pathway between Wellgate Drive and Pathfoot Drive has left a dangerous hole that needs to be filled in and topped with a surface material like stone chips or grit. Is there a procedure for reporting problems?
