Those living in parts of Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Mirfield may face some disruption over the coming weeks as a series of roadworks get underway.
Yorkshire Water will be carrying out utilities works at Woodhead Road in Lockwood, and Town End Road in Holmfirth. Elsewhere, roads will be resurfaced and gas mains will be replaced at Dewsbury’s John Ormsby V C Way and Listing Lane and Valley Road in Liversedge.
Aside from these comparatively smaller schemes, £750,000 works will be continuing on the Queensgate and Shorehead stretch of Huddersfield Ring Road. Here, new curbs, upgraded traffic signals and resurfaced roads, will be introduced.

The local authority says that this can also be used to check whether there are any traffic management implications for summer events like galas, shows and parades.
Updates can also be found on the council’s social media pages and website, and at nationalhighways.co.uk.
