We are pleased to announce that the repair scheme, following the landslip on the A59 at Kex Gill, is almost complete.

We have installed 85 metres of steel sheets – known as piles – to create the structural wall required, along with reconstructing the embankment and carriageway sub-base. From Monday, we will be carrying out the resurfacing of the area affected.

At the moment, we are about a week ahead of schedule which means we are aiming to reopen the road by the end of the week beginning 17th June.

Thank you to everyone who attended the first drop-in session earlier this week in Hampsthwaite. Following feedback from this session, we are making some changes to the next session atBolton Abbey Village Hall, Bolton Hall, BD23 6AL on Wednesday 19 June. 

The session will start at 6pm for a short presentation, followed by an opportunity to ask questions and discuss matters with our officers.
