Another closure: SGN on Pilgrims Way

 A quick note/ update on the closure in Pilgrims Way. 

This is an emergency closure by the utility (SGN) to address a gas escape. This is different from a scheduled closure: in these cases the utility (statutory undertaker) does not arrange the timing with KCC and has to inform us only within two hours of starting the closure. 

I contacted the relevant KCC officer, who asked SGN to work extended hours to reduce the duration of the road closure (booked as up to 8 days, but this is a maximum). The KCC area inspector attended this morning but by mid-afternoon SGN had not located the leak and so their investigation work was continuing. 

KCC have made clear the importance of these works being completed as soon as possible, and I should have an update tomorrow.
