Rillington residents Mr and Mrs Tony and Dyanne Morrison have had their letter calling for a bypass printed in today’s edition of the Malton & Pickering Mercury. In their letter they quote a Highways Agency survey conducted in 2007 which found that a staggering 15,000 vehicles pass through the village each day. They also relate a personal experience which highlights a further problem of the single carriageway:
“Recently I was in the unfortunate situation where a family member was injured and had to be taken immediately to hospital. As the ambulance started driving towards York I asked why we were not going to Scarborough Hospital. The reply from the driver was that to the fact that the A64 to York was partially dualled made the journey quicker than the single carriageway to Scarborough”
