Bond End in Knaresborough

Roadworks causing misery for motorists in Knaresborough are due to end on Friday.

Traffic lights have been causing severe delays at Bond End since May 2.

The roadworks paused last weekend for the coronation but returned yesterday, causing tailbacks in all directions.

Electricity distribution company Northern Powergrid is laying underground electricity cables to support the redevelopment of Dower House Hotel, which is due to reopen this year under the new name The Knaresborough Inn.

A Northern Powergrid spokesperson said:

“As part of the investment scheme, traffic management is in place until Friday 12 May while the company digs to lay the new electricity cables.
“We apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing to residents and businesses, and although unavoidable, we can appreciate it is very disruptive. All work and traffic management was agreed with the appropriate local authority and permits granted to carry out the necessary work.
“Traffic management helps to enable safe access for engineers to carry out their work, and for residents and motorists alike.”
