North Yorkshire Council says plans to build a new road linking Ings Lane, Engine Shed Lane and the Skipton bypass are progressing with preparation work set to finish this autumn.
A new road to the A629 Skipton bypass has been in the pipeline since 2017 as part of the former Craven District Council’s £4.68 million Skipton Employment and Housing Growth scheme. But progress has been slow, frustrating residents and local councillors including Coun Andy Solloway. He said the new road will offer many benefits including taking HGVs from the industrial estate straight onto the bypass rather than travelling through town.
He added: “This link road is desperately needed, but also many planning applications in the area have been approved with the assumption that the link road would be there.” In an update published this week, the council said upgrades of the two roads plus culverts at Ings Beck should be finished later this year. Once completed, it could mean work on the link road can finally begin.
