How long will the A59 roadworks take?
In reference to the ongoing roadworks at the A59 junction with the A658 near Goldsborough.
It is clear that the deadline is just being extended again and again. Earlier this week it was due to finish this Friday, now it is November 27.
Yorkshire Water must know how long the whole project will take - why can’t they just say and then we can all be clear what is going on or not.

One fire appliance is 'not good management'
As one person has stated, cutting down to one appliance at night time is a not good management.
As a retired firefighter of 30 years of experience, I can state that there are more fatalities at night time by the event that the fire is discovered later than during the day. One reader has made the same comment.
I know what I am talking about as I attended quite a few fatalities during my time as I served in a city fire service.
