DRIVERS are being advised of forthcoming road closures, as work progresses on a multi-million-pound project to upgrade Junction 47 on the A1(M). The junction upgrade, which began in September, will address congestion as well as improve road safety and support development in the Harrogate and Knaresborough areas, North Yorkshire County Council said. Work is progressing as planned and is on schedule for completion in the autumn. Improvements involve widening three of the roundabout’s four slip roads to increase capacity, along with the installation of traffic signals on the roundabout to improve traffic flow. In addition, nearby junctions will be improved.
Max Reeves of Helmsley Group, with Coney Street in the background EMPTY shops in York city centre are being bought by local investors - and that is good news for the high street, according to business leaders. Max Reeves, development director at York-based property company Helmsley Group, says the recovery from the pandemic will give the city an opportunity to evolve. The company - which has been involved with redeveloping the Old Fire Station and recently announced plans for the city s first eco hotel in North Street - is also supporting City of York Council s campaign to remain unchanged as a local authority under local government reorganisation proposals.
And the project has won further support from two York business leaders. The scheme would see a new Roman visitor attraction built on Rougier Street, along with apartments, offices, shops and leisure space which could include a bar, restaurant or music venue. A planning application submitted to City of York Council is set to be decided in the new year - but in response to comments on the scheme the designs have been changed again. Alterations include reducing the size of the building on the Tanner Row side and creating more distinct elements to the building to break down its mass appearance.
