SGN Natural Gas have announced the suspension of works in towns across Tyrone, to facilitate the Christmas shopping season.
From yesterday (Monday) until Friday, January 1, the work to install pipes and metres will be paused.
David Butler, Director of SGN Natural Gas, said the voluntary commitment to suspend roadworks in the run-up to the festive season was even more timely this year, given the ongoing impact of the global pandemic on the local economy.
“SGN Natural Gas has led on this initiative from the outset of the project which is aimed at ensuring traffic can flow more freely in and out of towns during what is traditionally the busiest time of year for local businesses.
“We really want to help make a difference again this year when town centres need extra support now more than ever.”
SGN Natural Gas will deliver gas mains, meters and services to around 40,000 customers in Artigarvan, Coalisland, Cookstown, Derrylin, Dungannon, Enniskillen, Magherafelt, Omagh and Strabane.
