A SKIPTON MP is encouraging all those who use the A59 at Kex Gill to contribute to North Yorkshire County Council’s consultation on proposals to reroute it.
The stretch of the road has a history of instability and movement of the land above the road to the west of Blubberhouses at Kex Gill.
Realigning the A59 to the other side of the valley is part of North Yorkshire County Council’s strategic transport plan.
Skipton and Ripon MP Julian Smith is asking local residents to have their say on the consultation, which ends next week.
Mr Smith said: "I am delighted that this project is moving to the next stage. I would encourage every interested user of the A59 to contribute to the consultation.
"This stretch of road is vital to the local area and as a trans-Pennine route for freight and other users.
"I stand ready to assist North Yorkshire County Council to ensure they are given the fullest support from central government."
The closing date for comments is Tuesday and further details on the consultation can be found online at northyorks.gov.uk/kexgill
