Traders delighted as firm steps on gas

ESSENTIAL gas works on East Parade in Keighley have been completed a week ahead of schedule to the delight of traders.

Traders were told the good news by Northern Gas Networks. The project represents a 24,000 investment in the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to the area.

Amanda Greenwood, of Vice Versa Hair & Beauty, said: "The works were outside my shop for some of the time but apart from some noise it hasn't really affected us that much.

"It was a big relief to learn that work will be completed a week earlier than we thought it would be."

Northern Gas Networks' Chris Gorman said: "We planned the work very carefully with the council's highway department to ensure that we minimised disruption by working extended hours, across a weekend and through the school summer holidays."
