Whole of Harrogate’s Bogs Lane now to be resurfaced
North Yorkshire County Council has agreed to resurface the whole of Bogs Lane.
Previously, the council said it would only lay fresh tarmac on the stretch of road from the Forest Lane junction of Knaresborough Road to Henshaw’s College. Work began last week.
The road, just off the main A59 Knaresborough Road, is in a busy residential area that has been affected by numerous new housing schemes.
However, following requests from resident Malcolm Binks and Starbeck Liberal Democrat councillor Philip Broadbank, the county council has now agreed to resurface the whole stretch of road.
Cllr Broadbank said that this will now include the section from Henshaw’s College to the low bridge that connects Bogs Lane to Kingsley Road.
He said:
“The road’s been in a very poor condition for a long time. It beggared belief the county council didn’t decide to do it until now.”
The councillor said the resurfacing work should be completed by the end of this week.
