Marsh Works

Please be aware that path works have commenced in the Marsh, from Marsh End toward the old railway line. The path has currently been scraped back to allow for the laying of gravel. It is hoped it will be completed shortly. Please take care if walking along this stretch.

Forthcoming Roadworks

There is to be a full resurface of the road from the zebra crossing at Long’s Corner to the Doctor’s surgery (Hull Road, Flatgate, Bridgegate, Pinfold Street). Unfortunately, it will not be done before Tour de Yorkshire (as they are busy elsewhere)…..it is planned that the works will take place in August.

There will be letters of consultation going out to all residents and businesses beforehand.

Bellway Development Update

29 January 2017

Bellway have informed us that contractors are going on to the site this week to do some vegetation clearance in advance of bird nesting season. The scope of the works proposed do not require planning permission, nor do they constitute a commencement on site in advance of planning approval.

The contractors are called East Coast. They will be removing scrub and saplings down to top soil level within the existing fencing and removing the material from site. The boundary trees will be unaffected. There will be no earthworks/top soil strip involved. They will need to put down some temporary hardstanding for their machinery as it is very muddy on site at the moment. They will also need to provide temporary welfare for the workers on site. They will be on site for approximately two weeks.
