Continuing the home gas connection replacement programme in our area, permission for a temporary road closure at the junction of Syon Lane and Northumberland Avenue. Cadent Gas has written to residents towards the West of this location, as shown here.
Cadent Gas has a permit to facilitate urgent gas works, renewing a critical connection by Northumberland Gardens, as shown here, expected to last a fortnight. However, advice is, to allow for any unexpected delays or possible remedial works, the Traffic Order will remain in force for up to 21 days, or until the works are complete, whichever is the earlier.
Only works and emergency vehicles would be able to use Northumberland Avenue from Syon Lane.
The nearside northbound lane between Syon Lane Station and Northumberland Avenue will also be restricted for the duration of works, as illustrated here,
Due to limited access to and from the Northumberland Estate, rerouting will be in place, as on this extensive diversion map. Advice would be for short cut and rat run traffic to avoid passing through the area.
Osterley and Spring Grove Ward councillors did enquire why Cadent would not fulfil these works during the Schools Easter Holidays, instead of a week later. The advice was that, because this week (30.3. to 3.4.2026) was short, the site would have been left unworked. Starting works for four days and not returning for three, could give mixed messages to the travelling public and would increase the number of working days on site.
Hounslow Highways have assessed the duration of permit in detail and will be monitoring the progress on daily basis.
The Cadent works reference is IMGA272232 and they can be reached at 0800 0854 478, email customercarelondon@cadentgas.com .
Keep safe. Wishing you a peaceful Easter.
