North Yorkshire County Council are working in conjunction with

Bentham Town Council, Barclays Bank, and The Coach House

to reduce the incidence of turning vehicles hitting the Barclays building.

*

It is proposed to to re-lay the northern kerb line, resurface the northern half of the

carriageway and the full width of the footway outside Barclays Bank and the

adjacent premises, during the weekend the 4th to the 6th of July.

*

Some drainage works off the highway will be done late that week.

The start of the works on the highway will be after the Bank closes on

Friday evening.

*

Main St B6480, High Bentham will be closed fronting the Public House, the Bank and the adjacent

Estate agency. There will be two way traffic lights at the northern end of Station Road and

traffic will be able to turn from Mount Pleasant to Station Road.

*

A local diversion along Mount Pleasant, Robin Lane, Dumb Toms lane,

through Four lane Ends to Wennington will be signed.

Pedestrian access along the south footway will be maintained at all times.

When the above work is completed, Robinsons will re-lay the cobbles on the forecourt

to the Coach House.

*

The work is being carried out by Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Services Ltd.

the County Councils Term Maintenance Contractor.

Their works manager Mr Paul Phillipson can be contacted

during office hours on Skipton 01756 794 242.

*

Bentham Town Council would like to thank all the parties involved

in the process to find and provide a solution to this problem,

Hopefully this will make High Bentham a safer place to walk.

*

Apart from those mentioned above, we received a considerable level

of help and co-operation from Kidde's.
