Good morning and happy Thursday. The roads will be busier this week due to the Great Yorkshire Show so keep checking the blog for live updates.

We will be running this blog longer than usual to keep you up-to-date on the Show traffic.

The blog, brought to you by the HACS group, will show you where the traffic hotspots and temporary traffic lights are and tell you of any train and bus delays.

Give me a call on 01423 276197 if you get experience any delays.
