A £1 MILLION road resurfacing scheme in Harrogate is progressing well, according to North Yorkshire County Council.

The scheme to target key routes with heavy traffic is part of a larger investment in Harrogate's roads.

NYCC has further approved an extra £3 million for highway maintenance across the county, to match funding received from the Government, and is also working on reducing congestion, with another £1.5 million to be spent on improvements at locations such as Bond End and Otley Road.

Cllr Don Mackenzie, executive member for highways, said: "We have received a lot of support locally for this work.

"It is really positive and shows the county council is reponsing to the concerns expressed by residents and road users about the condition of the highways in the area.

"We are also effectively planning prevention work to cut future deterioration to a minimum."
