Description
Alfred Bagnall & Sons Limited have been repainting the gas pipe at this location on behalf of National Grid. The works are being undertaken using a stoppage which is due to end on 27th January.
A fracture has now been discovered on the gas pipe so for health & safety reasons the pipe will need to be repaired. Fortunately the contractor has agreed to raise the scaffold to allow boats to pass safely beneath whilst the repair takes place.
