An urgent item has been added to a council meeting which is taking place on Thursday.

If approved it would see works start almost immediately on the bus priority measures recently consulted on which affect the Boroughbridge Road areas of the Holgate and Acomb Wards.

Dozens of objections were raised by residents during a recent consultation process on the section of Boroughbridge Road between Grantham Drive and The Fox roundabout.

There were fewer objections to the proposals for the Water End to Carr Lane section.

Although residents have the right to attend and register to speak at Thursday’s meeting, it is unlikely that many will even know that the bus lane and parking changes are being discussed!
