East Riding of Yorkshire Council will next week be cleaning down all the roadways and footpaths which were included in the 18-month project to improve and revamp Saturday Market in Beverley.
Starting on Monday evening (16 June), council staff will work to clean the area from around 17.30 until around 23.00, in an operation which is expected to last for three evenings.
The council’s director of environment and neighbourhood services, Nigel Leighton, explained:
“We deliberately phased the work over 18 months to ensure we were able to maintain access to key areas of Saturday Market at all times. It is inevitable after a major construction scheme of this nature and length that the roads and footways included will require a good ‘clean down’ to remove any remaining dust and detritus following the work, and I am pleased that we will be able to do this next week.”
The council is advising people that some footpaths may be closed temporarily during the cleaning operation, but that access will be maintained to all areas of Saturday Market.
