Two roads in Sharow are set to undergo a £200,000 resurfacing scheme.

North Yorkshire County Council has added the projects to its highways forward programme.

It will see New Road and Sharow Lane in the village resurfaced and reconstructed.

The county council is expected to start the schemes in the 2024/25 financial year.

It comes as the council faced criticism in December after it was revealed repairs to Sharow's roads were not included in next year's capital schemes.

Residents in the area have previously told the Stray Ferret that The ‘shocking state’ of roads in the village is preventing motorists from going green.

James Thornborough, who lives in the village, said:

“The road surfaces are in such a shocking state, that it is not safe to drive on them in smaller vehicles that use less fuel and produce fewer emissions.”
