Members of the public are invited to an open meeting to hear
the results from the work undertaken by Harrogate Borough Council's
Overview and Scrutiny's Traffic Panel. The Panel
was set up to look into the problems of congestion on Skipton Road
and Wetherby Road, Harrogate and to make recommendations into ways
in which things could be improved.
A public meeting was held at the start of the Panel's work
and, at that time, the Panel promised to hold a further public
meeting at the conclusion of its work.
The meeting will be chaired by the Traffic Panel Chairman,
Councillor Robin Adderley. He will be joined by
Councillor Julian Sturdy, Cabinet Member for Transport and a member
from North Yorkshire County Council which is the highway authority
for the whole district.
The meeting is to be held on Monday, 14 November at Harrogate
Rugby Club, Claro Road. The doors will open
at7.00 pm and the meeting will start at 7.30 pm.
There will be small display detailing the Panel's work and
findings.
The Panel will report back on their findings, will give
information about what actions have been undertaken since the first
public meeting and will conclude with their recommendations for
future action.
Councillor Adderley, wishes to see as many members of the
public attend as possible. He
said: "We have seen a lot of interest in this
issue and we have also had a lot of support for what we are trying
to achieve. In fact some of the actions which we
have carried out have been as a direct result of some ideas that
came out of the first public meeting."
