Skipton Road: emergency roadworks cause more misery
Long queues are forming on Skipton Road as two sets of roadworks are combining to cause misery for drivers.
Works to replace a gas main underneath Roberts Crescent were already in place but Northern Gas Networks has also started repairs to fix a gas leak on Skipton Road.
It has set up three-way temporary lights on the junction opposite Bilton Lane, which is in between the junctions at both ends of Roberts Crescent.

Temporary traffic lights on Skipton Road, Harrogate
Northern Gas Networks said works on Roberts Crescent are expected to last until May 25, while those on Skipton Road should be complete in “no more than three weeks”.

The footpath is closed on Roberts Crescent, off Skipton Road
On Twitter, the company apologised for the disruption and urged motorists to use other routes.
The emergency repair will last for no more than three weeks. We apologise for the disruption the work will cause and ask drivers to avoid the area if they can or leave extra time for journeys. Call our Customer Care Team for more info: 0800 040 7766 (opt 3).
— NorthernGasNetworks (@NGNgas) May 12, 2021
Skipton Road is one of the busiest roads in the town.
Northern Gas Networks began work replacing metal pipes with plastic ones in July last year, which was paused in October and recommenced in January. The roadworks were finally finished in April.

Highways England puts handbrake on 1,300-home Ripon development
Highways England has called for further assessment of the transport and traffic impact of the proposed 1,300-home redevelopment of the former Ripon army barracks.
Homes England and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation submitted plans to Harrogate Borough Council in September last year to redevelop the site.
The scheme, known as Clotherholme, would include shops, business units and a new primary school as well as 1,300 homes.
Highways England is the government-owned company that operates, maintains and improves the country’s major roads.
It has recommended that outline planning permission for the scheme is not granted until October.
This would be to give Homes England and North Yorkshire County Council the opportunity to address transport issues identified by consultants AECOM in support of the scheme.

Ripon City Council has appointed its own traffic and transport consultant to look at the Clotherholme scheme.
The move has been welcomed by North Yorkshire county councillor and ward member Mike Chambers.
Cllr Chambers told the Stray Ferret:
“Before seeking outline planning, much better solutions to the traffic issues have to be found.
“These relate in particular to the mitigation measures for four key junctions in Ripon, at Low and High Skellgate, Blossomgate and the clock tower on North Street.
“The mitigation measures need to be ‘future proofed.’
“This is necessary so that the junctions are able to cope with the traffic generated by the volume of new housing as it comes on stream over the course of the scheme.
“At present, what was being proposed just isn’t good enough and is unacceptable to for the residents of Ripon.”
Asked if the proposed number of homes at Clotherholme needed to be reduced, Cllr Chambers replied:
“We need to be closer to the numbers in the Ripon Neighbourhood Plan.”
That document, produced following detailed consultation with the public and other stakeholders, envisaged no more than 800 new homes on the former barracks.

Ripon City Council, supports comprehensive redevelopment of the site, but is calling on Homes England to reduce the number of homes by 500.
The council has appointed its own traffic consultant to draw up traffic mitigation proposals based on a scheme of 800 homes.
In a recent update on the scheme, Homes England and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation said the planning application was “taking longer than we originally anticipated due to the covid pandemic”. They added:
Live: Harrogate district traffic and travel“We appreciate that people have expressed concerns particularly in relation to traffic and the highway network, sustainability, the impact on the environment and local services.
“We are therefore also working closely with local organisations such as the Highway England, North Yorkshire County Council, the Local Enterprise Partnership, and health and education providers.
