    Roadworks on Skipton Road last year.

    One of Harrogate's busiest arterial roads is to be dug up for two weeks, including over the half-term holiday.

    A stretch of Skipton Road between King Edward's Drive and the railway line will undergo routine repair and maintenance works carried out by Northern Gas Networks between Monday, October 23 and Friday, November 3.

    The schools' half-term break covers the week commencing Monday, October 30.

    The news comes hot on the heels of lengthy and disruptive roadworks further west along Skipton Road, which only ended on September 6.

    Scott Kitchingman, operations manager at NGN, said:

    “We are carrying out some work in the Skipton Road area of Harrogate during the October school half-term break; the dates have been planned in to try to minimise disruption to the public.
    "We are still determining the precise area of where we will be working, however, information will be communicated once plans are finalised.
    “We apologise in advance for any disruption caused by these works, but it is essential that we work proactively in areas identified as having pipes that could be at risk.”


    NGN is the company responsible for piping gas around most of the north of England and is currently carrying out a huge programme to replace old metal pipes with new plastic ones.
