Wales & West Utilities Adam Smith is managing this gas pipe upgrade work. He said: 'This work has been rescheduled and will now take place during the school holidays, to help minimise disruption to motorists using the roads.
'While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the area. Whether it's heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
'We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future. We'll have a team of gas engineers on site throughout the project to make sure our work is completed as safely and as quickly as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum.
'This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.' Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox

BP says it makes biggest oil and gas find in 25 years
Energy giant BP says it has made its largest oil and gas discovery this century as it shifts its focus away from renewable energy and back to fossil fuels. The UK-based firm said on Monday that it is conducting tests at the site in deep water off Brazil's west coast. The discovery could play a major role in BP's plans to increase crude oil production. Company executive Gordon Birrell says the discovery is "BP's largest in 25 years" and that the firm will explore building a production hub there. In February, BP slashed its planned investments in renewable energy and said it would spend billions of dollars more a year on its oil and gas operations, as it aims to boost investor confidence. BP said it had found a roughly 500-metre area of oil and gas at the Bumerangue block in the Santos basin, 250 miles (400km) off Brazil's west coast. It said the discovery was the company's biggest since the Shah Deniz gas field in the Caspian Sea in 1999. The find adds to BP's several other discoveries of energy reserves this year, including those in the Gulf of Mexico, which is called the Gulf of America by the administration of US President Donald Trump, and Egypt. "This is another success in what has been an exceptional year so far for our exploration team", said Mr Birrell, the firm's executive vice president for production and operations. BP's attempt to transform itself into a "net zero" energy producer has faced major hurdles since it put the plan into action five years ago. In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic pushed it to a $5.7bn (£4.29bn) annual loss. It also took a $25bn hit two years later from writing off a stake in its Russian energy business after the start of the Ukraine war. BP's share price has also come under pressure as it pumped billions of dollars into renewable energy, while rival companies benefitted from soaring oil and gas prices in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. BP shares rose by a little over 1% in London trading after the announcement.
