Roadworks to hit main road in Harrogate over half-term break
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:
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.
