No end in sight for traffic lights near Ripley
Two-way traffic lights on Fountains Road look set to remain in place for several weeks.
The lights were installed following several heavy rainstorms in December, as one part of the road (pictured), which runs between Ripley and Sawley, is notorious for flooding.
However, despite recent dry weather, there is no sign of the lights being removed imminently.
The Stray Ferret asked North Yorkshire Council how long the lights were expected to remain, as well as what long-term flood prevention measures will be put in place on the road. A spokesperson responded:
The spokesperson did not provide a timeframe and said the authority will “provide an update closer to the time and when works are ongoing".
