KEELHAM Farm Shop hopes to complete roadworks outside its under-construction Skipton store by the end of next week.

Martin Collier, Project Manager of WPL Consulting, said: ā€œIā€™d like to thank local people and businesses for bearing with us through the construction of a new drain to the site on Gargrave Road.

"We are working closely with the auction mart next door to minimise disruption and this week we stopped work on site for an important event in the farming calendar, to ensure that business could take place as usual."

He added: "Work on this significant piece of infrastructure - that is one third of a mile long - is due for completion at the end of next week and traffic flows will return to normal.ā€

The award-winning Keelham Farm Shop is due to open in January next year.
