Message from SGN regarding Gas Main Replacement at Bashley
Road closure from Monday 6 January on Bashley Common Road for essential gas main replacement
From Monday 06 January to Friday 28 March 2025 , SGN engineers will be replacing the gas main along Bashley Common Road, New Milton. These works are crucial to ensure we maintain a safe and efficient gas supply to the local area. By replacing the old metal gas pipe with a new plastic pipe, we can avoid further gas escapes on this section of gas main.
Due to the location of the gas main in the road and for everyone’s safety, we will need to close the road. This closure is necessary to allow us to be working within mandatory safe working distances, this is a legal requirement.
The road will be closed from just past the cattle grid near the Rising Sun Public House to the junction of Ossemsley South Drive/New Road. See map below.
Vehicle access to properties and businesses on Bashley Common Road within the closure will be maintained via south end of the closure (Ossemsley South Drive end).
All businesses will be open as usual, vehicle access will be from the south end of closure.
Our team on site will continue to keep residents and businesses informed.
Important information
- Bus routes along Bashley Common Road will be affected – we’d advise passengers to contact their service provider for the latest updates/changes to the bus service.
- Bin/waste collection days will remain unchanged unless you hear otherwise from your service provider
We appreciate this closure will be disruptive for the community, please be assured we have explored all other traffic management measures with a closure the only safe option.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience these works will cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
