TEMPORARY traffic lights on the A65 Skipton Road in Ilkley will be taken down for the Bank Holiday weekend.

Northern Gas Networks says engineers will temporarily remove the traffic management system to minimise disruption to road users.

Work will restart on the morning of Tuesday May 31, with the temporary lights reinstated and manned 12 hours a day as before.

Northern Gas Networks is replacing ageing metal gas mains with modern plastic pipes. The ten week project began March 28.

The company says the project continues to progress well, with another 180m of gas mains replaced in the last week.

It said it is continuing to listen to feedback from the community. Anyone who would like to speak to NGN about the works can call (0800) 0407766 or email customercare@northerngas.co.uk.
