New Gas pipes for Harbour Street and the High Street - work starts next week

It has come as a bit of a surprise to Fishertown residents to find out that major road works will commence in that area next week. The Gurn understands that work to replace old and potentially leaky gas pipes will commence in Harbour Street on Monday and the work will be completed in 30 metre sections. A resident in the area said on social media: "I got a letter last week.The work will start between 4th and 11th May and will take approx 16 weeks."


The image above shows exploratory holes being dug in Harbour Street earlier today in preparation for work starting on Monday. 


The new pipes are being stored on the site of the former gas works.

and once again,our roads will be ripped up and left looking like a patchwork quilt,contractors are supposed to reinstate roads etc to original condition after digging,they should re tar the whole road instead of leaving an ugly eyesore.

I know, it's a pain in the ass. But hey - it will all be rather academic after the bomb drops.
