    The completion date for roadworks on Harrogate's Skipton Road has been pushed back until Wednesday next week.

    Three-way lights have been in operation close to the junction with Sykes Grove for more than a month to enable Northern Gas Networks to replace metal pipes with plastic pipes.

    The work on one of the town's busiest traffic spots was due to have finished on Friday last week.

    But Northern Gas Networks, which is the company responsible for distributing gas to homes, is now expected to be on site for another five days.

    The roadworks on Skipton Road.


    Mark Mawhood, site manager at Northern Gas Networks said:



    “I can confirm that we are now in the final stages of the engineering work on Skipton Road, Harrogate.
    "Completion is planned for Sunday, September 3.
    "We have already begun the reinstatement work, but as this scheme has been extensive, the work will be finished by Wednesday, September 6. The necessary time extensions required to complete the work have all be approved by North Yorkshire Council."
    “We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we appreciate the public bearing with us while we complete the works safely whilst also managing any unforeseen issues that have arisen once engineering work began.”


    Mr Mawhood did not say why the scheme had been delayed.

    Scott Kitchingman, operations manager at Northern Gas Networks, previously said the work would "ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now while getting the network ready to transport alternative greener fuels in the future".
