As many residents will already be aware, Hollist Lane will be closed from Monday 14th April to Friday 16th May to allow the replacement of the gas main. These works will be carried out by Dunkerton Utilities Limited on behalf of SGN. Please see below for further details directly from the contractor –

From Monday 14 April to Friday 16 May, SGN contractors Dunkerton Utilities Limited will start a programme of work to replace the gas main on Hollist Lane in Easebourne. These essential works involve replacing the old metal gas pipes with new plastic pipes to ensure we can continue to provide a safe and efficient gas supply to the wider community.

Our engineers will be replacing the gas main along Hollist Road from its junction with A286 down to the junction with Weaver Close. Due to the location of the gas main in the road for everyone’s safety a road closure will be required. The map below shows the location of the closure.

The closure will start at the junction of Weaver Close and will move along the road in sections heading to the A286 – the closure will move as work progresses.

This closure will mean

  • No through vehicle traffic past the point of closure in either direction. A signed diversion route will be in place.
  • Vehicle access to properties located within the closure will be maintained. The team will keep those properties affected informed about their access arrangements; these will change as the works progress.
  • Parking suspensions within the work area – will be required; due to the width of road space we are unable to safely accommodate parked cars within the work area.
  • Bin collection days will remain unchanged unless you hear otherwise from your service provider.

We understand how disruptive road closures are for the community, our engineers will be working extended hours and weekends to ensure they get these works completed as quickly and as safely as possible.
