    Gas emergency work on Newtown Street in Luton has been extended for a further two weeks. 

    The road closure on Newtown Street has been extended along Newtown Street from Chase Street to include the junction with Albert Road and Newtown Road whilst we replace the gas pipe under the road.

    Please be aware that traffic will not be able to exit Albert Road and Newtown Road onto Newtown Street. Diversions are in place. 

    We expect the work at the three-road junction will be completed next week.

    We thank local residents and road users for their continued patience.

    Cadent

    Cadent is the UK’s largest gas distribution network with a 200-year legacy. We are in a unique position to build on strong foundations whilst encouraging the curiosity to think differently and the courage to embrace change. Day to day we continue to operate, maintain and innovate the UK’s largest gas network, transporting gas safely and protecting people in an emergency. Our skilled engineers and specialists remain committed to the communities we serve, working day and night to ensure gas reaches 11 million homes from Cumbria to North London and the Welsh Borders to East Anglia, to keep your energy flowing.

    Future of Gas:

    Here at Cadent we support the Government’s plans to reach Net Zero by 2050. That means we’re backing the introduction of hydrogen as a low carbon alternative to natural gas for the future. We know people love the controllability of gas and, with our network already in place, it makes sense to switch to the lower carbon alternative offered by hydrogen, which we believe can keep homes and businesses warm for generations to come.
