ESSENTIAL road repairs will get under way in Kirkbymoorside tomorrow (Thursday).

People using Tinley Garth are being warned of possible disruption as resurfacing work starts at the junctions with West End and Market Place. The road will be closed in sections while resurfacing is being carried out, although pedestrian access will be maintained.

The work will take place Monday to Friday, from 7.30am to 5.30pm, and is due to be completed by October 29, but the road will only be closed when necessary.

When the top section of Tinley Garth (junction to the main street) is closed the doctors’ surgery car park entrance will be made two-way. When the lower section is closed, vehicles accessing the doctors’ surgery car park will be allowed to turn right from the public car park. It will be staffed during these times.

Advance noticeboards will be in place to advise when the road is going to be closed. Parking in the area will be restricted.

Cllr Val Arnold, member for Kirkbymoorside, said: “Tinley Garth is a well-used link road to the Market Place so unfortunately these works will cause disruption for residents, commuters and visitors.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their patience and understanding whilst these works are carried out.”

For any special access issues, phone 01609 780780.
