North Yorkshire Council will begin repaving the southern section of Thirsk Market Place from October 26.

The second phase of footway improvements around Thirsk Market Place will 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 take place in sections starting at The Three Tuns, between 7.30am and 4pm, and will continue until 27 November, when the site will be cleared and made safe for the Christmas period before resuming in the New Year.

Pedestrian access to shops and businesses will be maintained throughout the works, with advance warning signs in place. Councillor Gareth Dadd, division member for Thirsk, said the improvements are 'long overdue, but very welcome indeed'. He noted that the first phase on the northern side has been well received, particularly by people using wheelchairs and pushchairs, although underground works encountered some difficulties. The overall scheme will involve up to £3m being invested in improvements around the marketplace.
