MARKET PLACE, RICHMOND – RELAYING OF COBBLES

26 August 2026

Dear Resident/Proprietor,

MARKET PLACE, RICHMOND – RELAYING OF COBBLES

North Yorkshire Council would like to inform you that essential cobble relaying works will be carried out in the Market Place, Richmond.

The works are currently scheduled to begin on Monday 7 September 2026 and are expected to last for approximately 12 weeks. Working hours will be 7:30am to 4:00pm, Monday to Friday.

An enclosed plan shows the work areas:

  • Red areas indicate parking bays that will be temporarily suspended.
  • Thick red lines indicate the boundary of the contractor's working compound.

To minimise disruption and retain as much parking as possible, the works will be carried out in two phases:

Phase 1: Works will begin on the lower side of the Market Place and are expected to take approximately 6 weeks to complete.

Phase 2: The second phase will cover the upper end of the Market Place. This phase will begin once Phase 1 is complete and is expected to take approximately 6 weeks.

Please note, this work is part of an extensive programme and therefore, some adjustment to this start date or the duration of the works may be necessary should unforeseen circumstances such as significant weather events or emergencies on the highway network arise.

Advance warning signage advising of the works will be installed on site shortly. During each phase:

  • Vehicle access through the active work area will not be possible.
  • Some parking and loading bays will be suspended for the duration of the works. Temporary loading areas will be provided where practicable.
  • On site personnel will be available to assist with access arrangements for businesses and properties within the works area.
  • Pedestrian access to all properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
