NORTHERN Powergrid is starting a £1 million investment into improving the electricity network.

The company is replacing 7km of underground electricity cables in Scarborough with an updated alternative, from August 24 until the end of 2021.

The route include sections of Salisbury Street, Seamer Road, Oak Road, Falsgrave Road, Mount Park Road, Cambridge Place, Londesborough Road, All Saints Road, Westover Road, Belgrave Terrace, Westbourne Grove and Princess Royal Terrace.

There are no plans to turn off property power and Northern Powergrid will keep the community informed with written notices.
