A consultation exercise is to be carried out in Richmond in an effort to ease traffic problems in the town.

North Yorkshire County Council will stage an exhibition in the town from Friday, September 6, to allow local people to give their views.

Leaflets describing the options for traffic management in Richmond, together with questionnaires for members of the public, will also be distributed to households in the area.

Council environmental services spokesman Councillor Peter Sowray said: "The results of the public consultation will guide the county council strategy for Richmond and this is the opportunity for local people to have their say."

The exhibition is held on September 6, from noon to 6pm; September 7, from 10am to 4pm; September 9 to 12, from 10am to 4pm.
