yes can be done, no biggy
Is that what that plate is meant for? It's got holes in the back, as if it were to be used screwed to a wall.Distance between the gas/electrics and it would look neater bracketed to the wall,
It isn't now, and nor would it be if the meter were moved slightly to the right.with the anaconda not stretching across the meter.
Indeed, which is why I asked him what reason(s) there would be for moving it further to the right.gasservice is only giving advice , he does not know what going on around the meter with photos you've provided space availability.
It's not.How is the space from the service fuse to the meter 150 mm?
True. But I'm willing to bet that the gas pipe and meter in the picture was installed after the fuseSurely electricians are also taught not to put electrics within 150 mm of a gas part?
They are indeed, or to interpose an insulating partition between the two.Surely electricians are also taught not to put electrics within 150 mm of a gas part?
You'd win that bet.True. But I'm willing to bet that the gas pipe in the picture was installed after the fuse
it needs a floor bracket fixed to the floor. your gas pipework wants to be rerouted so it does not cross the electrical stuff.

A floor bracket does not need to be screwed to anything - they can be freestanding.
There should be 150mm clearance between gas pipe and electric meter installation. You could try telling National Grid there meter does not comply. I have no idea whether they would resolve it. A lot do not comply.
That is such an old meter, you could ask who ever is responsible for servicing meters that you want it changed for a new as you suspect its accuracy due to its age and they would come and fit a new meter and whilst they are doing that you could ask them to re-fit it properly along the wall, though you may have to then get an RGI to do consumer side pipework, and have it run well away from electrics.
