Three days of roadworks in Ripon city centre begin on Monday

North Yorkshire Council highway engineers will be carrying out trial roadworks along both Market Place East and Market Place West in Ripon next week.

When ongoing, between Monday and Wednesday, each road will be kept open but reduced to a single lane, meaning traffic disruption and delays are inevitable.

The work follows last week's news that £630,000 has been allocated for a comprehensive tarmac resurfacing of both roads to be carried out next October.

North Yorkshire Council said in a statement:

"Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout and on-site personnel will assist in managing access to properties and businesses within the works area."


Andrew Williams, leader of Ripon City Council and a members of the Conservative and Independents Group on North Yorkshire Council, where he represents the Minster and Moorside Division, told the Stray Ferret:

"There will be some disruption, but the works are necessary, to enable the engineers to design a scheme that will provide a lasting solution to the problems and potential risks that pedestrians, motorists and cyclists have experienced over many years, after the previous tarmacked surface was replaced with block sets that did not have adequate foundations."
