At its meeting on 25 September 2025 the Harrogate and Knaresborough
Area Committee noted the Executive to request:
1. undertake an urgent audit of all sewer assets in Knaresborough,
ensuring asset transfer and mapping records are complete and up to
date and share this data with NYC’s Lead Local Flood
Authority;
2. review maintenance and inspection regimes for key sewers,
particularly those on Queen’s Road and St Margaret’s
Gardens, to prevent recurrence of known blockages;
3. work jointly with NYC to develop the Strategic Infrastructure
Plan for Knaresborough with clear timelines and defined
responsibilities
