Public Consultation
Public consultation took place in June 2005. The public and stakeholders, including County and District Councils, were consulted. The majority (95%) of those consulted supported the principle of upgrading the A1 between Dishforth and Barton. Issues raised included safety, congestion reduction and improved traffic flow, journey time reduction, the poor standard of the existing road, promotion of a Bedale Bypass, business links, junction rationalisation, effects on Catterick and environmental impacts, particularly noise and visual intrusion. Having carefully considered the views expressed, the Highways Agency has amended some details of the scheme. The main changes are:
- Street Lane bridge to be provided
- Brompton South bridge to be retained for all users.
A number of further issues raised will be considered as the detailed design is developed.
