Gas meter in bathroom

[gnougnoume]

I have a large cupboard where my gas meter is.
We are thinking of converting this cupboard and the cloakroom which is just behind in a shower room/toilet. The old cloakroom would become a shower with a sliding door and the old cupboard would have a sink and a toilet. the gas meter would be just above the toilet.
Is it safe to keep the meter there?

I dont see why not if its high up.

The only place its not recommended is below a kitchen sink.

But it does need to be kept accessable.

this the meter in the future room. The shower will be where the mirror is and the toilet undearneath the meter. We need to dig for the toilet waste. The main gas pipe:how does it run?is it vertically in the ground?how deep?i am just worried they are going to dig near the gas pipe.

where is outside gas supply in relation to the down pipe ??

They can dig all they like around it - just don't damage it. If it is in the way then you will have to pay National Grid or their approved contractors to move it.

when we digged dor the manhole for the extension we didnt see any gas pipe so it must be on the other side of the house.
