From August 2023 to February 2024, Apperley Road will be closed between Apperley Lane Bridge and Harrogate Road Bridge, to link the local drainage network to a new surface water pumping station in the car park of the George & Dragon pub.
There will be no access for any vehicles, pedestrians, or other road users through this area during this time, while access to the George & Dragon pub car park will be retained via a new access point.
