    Four weeks of roadworks will begin in central Knaresborough this weekend as Northern Powergrid installs new electricity cables.

    The work will take place on King James Road and York Place from Saturday, May 27.

    With a trench set to be dug in the carriageway on King James Road, its junction with York Road will be closed until Monday, June 5.

    Temporary three-way traffic lights will be installed, with a barrier around a temporary footpath, at the junction.

    Work will also be carried out on the pavement between the pedestrian crossing and the footpath towards the cemetery.

    From June 5, the junction will be reopened under four-way temporary lights until the expected completion date of Tuesday, June 20.

    Northern Powergrid's connections delivery project engineer Richard Appleyard said:

    “Investment work is vital to connect customers to our network and although unavoidable, we do appreciate it can be very disruptive and every effort will be made to keep this disruption to a minimum.
    “Our teams will endeavour to ensure access is maintained to properties in the area at all times and we thank local residents and the local community for their patience and co-operation whilst the connection work takes place.”


    The company said it had notified nearby customers, including King James's School and Knaresborough Swimming Pool, about the plans.

    The new Knaresborough Leisure and Wellness Centre is currently under construction adjacent to the existing swimming pool, with work expected to continue until its opening date in November. The old pool is set to be closed in September for the final phase of the project.

    For more information about the road closures, contact Northern Powergrid on 0800 011 3332 or email generalenquiries@northernpowergrid.com.
