North Yorkshire Council begins the second phase of footway improvements around Thirsk Market Place on 26 October.

The second phase of footway improvements around Thirsk Market Place is due to begin on 26 October. North Yorkshire Council's highways team will repave the footway on the southern section of the Market Place, between The Three Tuns and Castlegate. Works will be ongoing until 27 November, when the site will be cleared and made safe for the Christmas period, before resuming in the New Year.

The scheme will take place in sections, starting at The Three Tuns, between 7.30am and 4pm. Pedestrian access to shops and businesses will be maintained and advance warning signs will be in place. The total investment in improvements around the marketplace is up to £3m.

Councillor Gareth Dadd, division member for Thirsk, said the first phase on the northern side had been welcomed, particularly by those using wheelchairs and pushchairs. He acknowledged that disruption would continue as work progresses but described the investment as 'long overdue' and something to be welcomed.
