A section of Harrogate‘s Penny Pot Lane will close for at least four days from next week.

The part of the road, which runs between Ingleborough Drive and Young’s Drive, will be blocked as Yorkshire Water carries out work in the area.

A spokesperson for the company said it was making improvements to its water network:

“Our teams will be working to make improvements to our water network which will require the temporary closure of Penny Pot Lane.

“We are expecting the road to be closed from 8-12 January to allow the work to be conducted safely.

“We will work as quickly as possible to complete the improvements and apologise for any inconvenience the closure will cause.”

The spokesperson also said the road will then re-open under two-way traffic lights to enable the final work to be carried out.

However, according to North Yorkshire Council’s roadworks map, the closure could be in place until January 21.

The spokesperson told the Stray Ferret a diversion will be in place on what is a busy route in and out of Harrogate.

Access will be maintained for residents, they added.
