Julian Smith MP is encouraging all those who use the A59 at Kex Gill to contribute to North Yorkshire County Council’s consultation on proposals to reroute it. The closing date for comments is 31 October 2017 and more information can be found at: www.northyorks.gov.uk/kexgill .

Julian Smith said: ‘I am delighted that this project is moving to the next stage. I would encourage every interested user of the A59 to contribute to the consultation. This stretch of road is vital to the local area and as a trans-Pennine route for freight and other users. I stand ready to assist North Yorkshire County Council to ensure they are given the fullest support from central government.’
