Alongside a letter from Sally Roger, Rillington resident Mr M R Denton has also had his letter calling for a bypass printed in today’s edition of the Malton & Pickering Mercury. In this letter Mr Denton highlights the long history of the bypass campaign:
“I moved to Rillington nearly 20 years ago. At that time plans had been drawn up for a bypass [but] the Government changed and the bypass plans were scrapped. Since then we have seen two more plans put forward. The last one was due to start in 2006. Each of these schemes have involved surveys, geological testing and public consultations at the cost of goodness knows how much. The Government itself says ‘the bypass will improve the environmental quality, especially with reference to noise and air quality within the village of Rillington, particularly during the busy summer holiday period. This bypass will also deliver significant benefits to road safety, with a reduced risk of accidents within the village’”.
