A PUBLIC consultation to gather views on improving access to services gets underway this month.
North Yorkshire County Council is to spend £300,000 over the next two years on improving the transport network in Stokesley and Great Ayton and is seeking residents' views.
The area is the first of 28 service centres - which attract people from surrounding areas - to be developed.
The council's local transport plan, adopted last year, set out proposals for improving the county's transport network until 2011.
Gordon Gresty, director of business and environmental services, said: "Among the ideas that have been put forward are pedestrian crossings, traffic-calming measures, additional signing, and link footpaths.
"This is a way of addressing local needs and reflecting local concerns by involving everyone in the community.It is hoped that as many people as possible will take part."
The consultation process begins on May 12, with an exhibition in Stokesley Town Hall, from 11am to 6pm, with others at WI Hall in Great Ayton and Hutton Rudby Village Hall on May 15, from 3pm to 8pm. Questionnaires will be delivered to every resident and business in the area.
