Update provided by Rachel Connolly on Sec 94(4) bodies

A66  The new government has until mid-October to decide if the dualling and upgrade will go ahead.  If it doesn’t, those new links for bridleways across this barrier road will have been lost.

A19  National Highways will eventually close all gaps in this road, but are dragging their heels about making any new grade-separated crossing points, such as the one needed for the Coast to Coast route.  An alternative route had been devised for the time being, but it is rumoured has met with legal challenges

A1  Grass cutting still not meeting agreed requirements. Non-motorised users (NMUs) have been very let down by both National Highways and NYC

Planning  Rachel leads on this and at the moment gets weekly lists to check from Richmond, Craven and Harrogate.  Hambleton used to flag up sites but has been out of contact for a while and we have no regular communication with Scarborough, Selby or Ryedale at the moment.

Bedale By-pass  The forum has been told that NYC highways are now dealing with this but procrastination over the formalisation of a safe parallel NMU route continues.
