ROADWORKS will begin later this month on several roads in Ripon.

Works will start on February 28 on Kirkgate, Fishergate, Queen Street, and Duck Hill, and will last up to four weeks.

Diversions will be in place.

Gareth Dadd, North Yorkshire County Council’s executive member for highways, said: “Although we will make every effort to minimise disruption, these improvement works will inevitably cause some inconvenience.”
