Work is underway on a water pipe replacement project in Harrowgate.

Yorkshire Water has started the second phase of its scheme in Beckwith Road between Otley Road and Pannal Ash roundabout to lay a new water pipe which will improve water quality.

Mark Allsop, communications advisor at Yorkshire Water, said: "A rolling road closure will cause less traffic disruption than a full road closure and will also enable us to complete the work faster and enable Highways to resurface Beckwith Road in the summer. We'll still be working seven days a week to complete this scheme as soon as possible and our normal working hours will be 8am until 5pm.

"Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout this phase of work. Refuse collections won't be affected so we ask residents to continue putting your bins out as normal. We'd like to thanks resident and motorists for their patience whilst we carry out this vital work."
