THERE will be delays on a busy Saltcoats road for a month as essential gas works are carried out.

And there will be parking restrictions on Argyle Road too as Scottish Gas Networks continue long term improvements to services across the local area.

From February 18, Donaldson Avenue will be closed and there will be temporary traffic lights between Caledonia Primary and Springvale Street.

Engineers will work in sections so that only 100 metres of road will be affected at any one time.

The works are replacing metal gas mains to replace them with long term and sustainable plastic piping which has a minimum lifespan of 80 years.
