Just when you thought it was safe to enter the ring road

The A59 lane closures continue

Boroughbridge Rd southeast bound closed between A1237 & Beckfield Ln junctions 09:30hrs till 15:30hrs 30th July due to road works.

At the Council meeting on 17th July the Cabinet member with responsibility for transport (Cllr Levene) was asked;

“Who took the decision, and when, to open the new Park and Ride site at Poppleton before work had been completed? (The outstanding works on 9th June included car parking space, signage, traffic signals, road junction layout, layout, A1237 junction improvements etc).

What has been the number of vehicles parked on average each day at the site and how many passengers have been carried by the new buses on each day since 9th June?

 When will all work connected with the Park and Ride site and associated road works be completed?”

He has been unable to answer.

This can mean only one thing.

The road-works at Poppleton will never end!
