City of York Council has circulated a letter to residents confirming details of the long-awaited resurfacing of the section of Moor Lane between Cairnborrow and Eden Close.

We reported back in March that the then Lib Dem / Green administration had allocated £211,000 for this work.

The letter to residents (copied below) states that there will be a full road closure between 7pm and 2am from Monday 19 June for a period of 10 week nights, weather permitting. It is proposed to stop planing and other activities of a similar noise level by 11pm, however due to the nature of the works, there will still be some noise between 11pm and 2am.

The letter provides no information about what diversions to bus services will be put in place, with the numbers 12 and 14 affected. Cllr Stephen Fenton has asked council officers to provide information on this.
