RESIDENTS are being alerted to five weeks of gas works on Glasgow's South Side.

SGN is beginning a £39,730 project to upgrade the gas network on Cavendish Street to replace old, metal gas mains with new plastic pipe to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply.

The project will start on Thursday, August 8 and last around five weeks and be split into two phases.
