The six-month experimental closure of Beech Grove in Harrogate to through traffic could be extended to 18 months.
North Yorkshire County Council said when the experimental order came into force last month it would be a trial for six months.
But the council’s highways boss confirmed today it has the power to extend the trial from six months to 18 months, meaning it would end in August 2022 rather than August 2021.

- New Beech Grove sign to stop cars driving on Stray
Cllr Don Mackenzie, executive member for access at the county council, told the Stray Ferret:
“The experimental traffic regulation order enables us to keep the closure in place for 18 months.
“We are assessing the impact all of the time. If it proves to be highly unpopular then it could still end after six months.
“However, just based on the communication I have received, there has been a big response but I would say that it is mainly positive.
“Those who have complained often say that it is just moving traffic elsewhere in the town.
“But those who are positive say they enjoying how it helps them to walk and cycle more.”
When the order began, some motorists avoided the newly-installed planters by driving on the Stray.
The tyre tracks on the Stray prompted the council to erect a road sign to act as a road block and warning to drivers.

Harrogate walking and cycling schemes: latest plans revealed
People are being invited to comment on designs for three schemes to enhance walking and cycling in Harrogate and Knaresborough.
North Yorkshire County Council has received £1,011,750 from the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund for four schemes in the country, three of which are in the Harrogate district.
The Harrogate schemes are:
- A59 (Harrogate Road, Knaresborough) between Badger Mount and Maple Close;
- Oatlands Drive between Hookstone Road and Knaresborough Road;
- Victoria Avenue near the County Court, between the A61 (West Park) and Station Parade.
Following the first phase of consultation, North Yorkshire County Council removed a controversial one-way system for the Oatlands Drive scheme. It has been replaced with a 20 mph zone and traffic calming measures in the nearby Saints area.
NYCC says the results of the consultation will be used to develop the draft designs further before a decision is made on which schemes to progress.
Here is a look at the proposals:
Oatlands Drive
- A 20mph zone would be created from Hookstone Drive to York Place.
- Only bicycles would be allowed to enter St Hilda’s Road from Oatlands Drive.
- Motorists would be able to enter St Winifred’s Drive from Oatlands Drive but not exit. Anyone leaving would need to travel via St Hilda’s Road.
- New junction improvements would be created on Hookstone Drive and York Place.
A59 (Harrogate Road, Knaresborough)
- Two 1.5m cycle lanes would be created, which would be separated from the rest of the road by a double white line.
- The speed limit between Badger Mount and Maple Close would be reduced from 50mph to 40mph.
- Centre traffic islands would be removed.
- A crossing near Harrogate Golf Club would be improved for pedestrians and cyclists.
Read more:
- Half of responses ‘strongly oppose’ Oatlands Drive plan
- 1,000 sign petition calling for Oatlands cycling plans to be scrapped
Victoria Avenue, Harrogate
- 1.5m cycle lanes would be created on both sides of the road.
- New pedestrian and cycle crossings would be created.
- Modifications would be made on the West Park and Station Parade junctions.
- A possible staggered zebra crossing and floating bus stop would be created.
County Councillor Don Mackenzie, executive member for access, said:
“We thank all those residents who took part in the first round of consultation on the outline proposals for these four schemes.
“We have listened to that and are trying to reach a broad consensus about the measures we put in place, given that these directly affect people’s movements and their property.
“We think we can come up with something that addresses most of the concerns raised, but that still provides significant benefits for people who are cycling and walking.
“We encourage residents to take part in this latest consultation. Your views are important to us and they will help shape the final designs of these four schemes.”
You can take part in the consultation, which ends on April 12, here.

Oatlands Drive one-way plans scrapped
North Yorkshire County Council has today dropped controversial plans to make Oatlands Drive in Harrogate one-way.
Cllr Don Mackenzie, executive member for access, told a Harrogate and Knaresborough Area Committee that the authority will not pursue the proposal.
Instead, a 20 mile per hour zone will be included in plans from next week.
The one-way proposal proved controversial, with 57% of respondents to an initial county council consultation opposing the proposal.
Cllr Mackenzie told the committee today:
“We decided, and I hope this committee agrees with that decision, that in the overwhelming view of local residents and that of the local elected member, that we should drop that option.
“Therefore, with effect from next Monday when the detailed consultation starts, we will be presenting a detailed design which does not include one-way working.
“It will include, however, a proposal to make the whole area on Oatlands Drive from York Place to Hookstone Road and all the saints residential area a 20 mile per hour zone in order to slow traffic down and bring about an element of safety for walkers and cyclists.”
Cllr Mackenzie added that the council will also look to improve the toucan crossing on York Place, building platforms at crossings at Slingsby Walk and outside St Aidans school.
Traffic filters will also be proposed for St Hilda’s Road and St Winifred’s Road.
