    Traffic is being diverted off the main Harrogate Road and through North Rigton and Huby during the day this week.

    Roadworks on the A658 Harrogate Road have diverted a large volume of traffic through two Harrogate district villages.

    Five days of roadworks began today between Gravelly Hill Lane and Hall Green Lane on the busy Harrogate Road.

    It is causing delays for vehicles travelling in both directions. But it has also brought problems to locals because traffic is being diverted along Crag Lane, The Sleights and Gravelly Hill Lane through North Rigton and Huby while work takes place.

    Villagers have expressed concerns about the speed and volume of traffic passing through the villages as well as the effectiveness of the diversion signs.

    One makeshift cardboard sign (see below) appeared in Huby this morning to help drivers navigate the diversion.

    Work is being carried out to resurface the Harrogate Road.

    A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire County Council said it wasn't aware of any issues. She said:



    "Works on the A658 are taking place from October 31 to November 4. The closure runs from 9.30am to 3.30pm daily. A signed diversion is in place."
