Yesterday, Julian met with the Chief Executive of North Yorkshire Council to receive an update on both the long-term realignment project and the current closure of the A59 at Kex Gill.
Following engagement with residents and businesses who continue to be impacted by the latest closure of the A59, Julian sought a meeting with the Chief Executive to seek clarity on the progress that has been made to re-open the road as safely and as quickly as possible.
Julian Smith said, “I know that residents and businesses are frustrated with yet another closure of the A59. That’s why it’s so important that the realignment project is completed as quickly as possible.
“This latest closure continues to have a real impact on my constituents, and I will continue to liaise with the Council to ensure that their concerns are factored into the decision-making process. The damage to the road is extensive, however, and I understand and support North Yorkshire Council’s decision to prioritise the safety of both those working on the repair and future road users.”
