Dave Standish, Yorkshire Water Project Manager said: "We hope the local community can bear with us whilst we carry out these improvements and we’ll do our best to minimise any disruption. We have written to local residents already and will continue to keep the local community informed of our progress."

A public drop-in session for residents to find out more information about the project will take place between 4pm – 7pm at the Northern Lights Suite today, 21 September.
