Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.

Roads

As previously reported, Northern Gas Networks is carrying out work in the Harrogate area which is expected to last for 10 weeks.

As part of the work, a lane closure will be introduced on Crescent Road between Montpellier Road and Parliament Street along with four-way lights on Crescent Road, Parliament Street, Ripon Road and Kings Road from Monday September 5 for two weeks

Further gas works will see road closures and temporary traffic lights on many of the main routes into town, including Ripon Road and Kings Road just as children return to school.

Temporary lights remain on Ripon’s Clotherholme Road as the company carries out replacement work to gas pipes.

The lights will remain in place until Monday.

This Sunday, temporary lights are expected to be in place on Ripon Road, Harrogate, near to the Oak Beck roundabout as Virgin Media carries out maintenance work.

Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal this morning.

Meanwhile, the Harrogate Bus Company is reporting cancellations on its 1, 1D, 7 and 36 services this morning.
