We are writing to let you know about our project to upgrade our gas network around The Poles area of Upchurch.
We are replacing our old metal gas mains and services with new plastic pipe. This essential work will ensure your community continues to receive a safe and reliable gas supply.
We will need to close Forge Lane from the junction with The Street to outside number twenty-three Forge Lane from 2nd April for two weeks.
In consultation with Kent County Council, our contractor, WCB Utilities, who will be completing this project on our behalf, will start work on Monday 21st March for approximately four weeks.
To safely access our gas network, it will be necessary to close the following roads.

Access will be maintained for residents and signed diversions will be in place.
We understand that people can get frustrated by roadworks, however we would not close a road unless it is unsafe not to.
We’re writing to residents and other local stakeholders to make them aware of our project and explain the details of our work. Please feel free to also share this information with anyone you think may be impacted by our project.
Yours sincerely
