New ‘No Footway’ Sign for Minskip Road

North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) have confirmed that they will action a ‘No Footway’ warning sign to motorists when approaching Staveley along the Minskip Road. The Parish Council (PC) requested a sign following resident comments at the last PC meeting on the dangers of walking the section of road between the Staveley Nature Reserve car park entrance and the village.

As yet, the PC have no timescale for the installation of the sign.
