Pathhead to get connected

Residents of Pathhead are being encouraged to sign up for a mains gas network connection, which will soon be available in the village for the first time.

Homeowners can now apply to the Scottish Government for a connection grant to help them with the installation of gas central heating into their homes.

Work will soon start on installing the gas infrastructure into the village, before moving on to connect Midlothian Council tenants.

It should result in reduced fuel bills.
