Councillors in Cambridge have received an invitation to a public meeting hosted by National Grid about substantial work in the City Centre starting in April 2011 and anticipated to continue until February 2012. To quote from the email:
National Grid will be starting work in April 2011 to replace 1.3kilometres of old metal gas mains with new hard-wearing plastic pipe, which is more durable and will last for 80 years if left undisturbed once underground.
The roads affected are Corn Exchange Street, Tennis Court Road, Wheeler Street, Emmanuel Street, St Andrews Street, Emmanuel Road, Market Street, Guildhall Street, Petty Cury, Post Office Terrace, the side of the Zoology Museum and the footpath area of Christ's Pieces.
They do add that
Where possible, the new pipes will be inserted through the old ones, saving time and reducing the need for digging.
This could be a concern for anyone running a business in the affected areas.
If concerned the meeting is on Monday 28 February 2011 at 7pm at The Royal Cambridge Hotel, or get in touch with the team.
