The first section of the job will see pipe replaced on Great Wilson Street, Portland Way and Duncombe Street. No traffic restrictions will be required at this stage.

Work will begin on Park Square East at the start of May when there will be no access to Westgate/The Headrow from Park Square East for a week and motorists are being warned parking bays will also be suspended.

As the work continues there will be further road closures and traffic restrictions in the area. A customer liaison officer will visit the area as work progresses to ensure customers are kept up to date.
