Their major concern is that the regulation requiring gas mains be laid under the footpath close to buildings may lead to any leak from a main causing an explosion within the building and that the excavations for such mains may destabilise the foundations of the buildings. They also consider the cost of relaying over one hundred miles of pipes and the difficulty of accessing mains which may need inspection and repair.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
