News release
If you are not aware already, North Yorkshire County Council have advised us that they have an unstable hillside at Kexgill between Harrogate and Skipton requiring urgent closure of the A59 due to the risk of landslide on to the carriageway. The diverted traffic as on previous occasions involving this route will pass through our area using the A65 from Ilkley to the A660 at Dyneley Arms then on the A658 through Pool in Wharfedale to the A61 roundabout joining the Harrogate bypass.
