AN MP is calling on people to get involved in the consultation over the re-routing of a major link road.
The consultation was launched by North Yorkshire County Council over the re-routing of the A59 at Kex Gill, west of Harrogate.
The road is an important east-west connection in North Yorkshire and there are several options on the table to improve its traffic flow.
The deadline for the consultation responses is October 31 and Ripon MP Julian Smith said:”I am delighted that this project is moving to the next stage.
“I would encourage every interested user of the A59 to contribute to the consultation.
“This stretch of road is vital to the local area and as a trans-Pennine route for freight and other users. I stand ready to assist North Yorkshire County Council to ensure they are given the fullest support from central government.”
