Julian Smith MP is convening a meeting with North Yorkshire County Council Executives over the recent closure of the A59 at Kex Gill. The Member of Parliament for Skipton and Ripon will discuss long-term options for the A59 at Kex Gill.
At this meeting Julian Smith will formally launch the 'Kex Gill Bypass Campaign' at a summit with transport ministers planned for later this year.
Julian Smith said: 'The disruption of the recent months is unsustainable. We now need to look longer term at how this key Trans-Pennine route is configured. I will be holding initial meetings with North Yorkshire County Council this month and want to campaign to support their Kex Gill by-pass plans over the coming years.'
