Melsonby Parish Council

It is anticipated that the Closures (subject to access to premises) will be between 1st May 2025 and 31st July 2025, because of carriageway Micro Asphalt works – the closure periods will only apply as indicated by the placing of traffic signs and a local alternative route will also be signed on site where appropriate. The road will be closed for one to four days during the advertised period to complete Micro Asphalt, road markings and where applicable Iron Work adjustment. The road may be closed on more than one occasion between the advertised dates. The actual closure dates will be advertised through local signage. Please note dates can be affected by adverse weather. Emergency service vehicles access will be maintained wherever possible. The Road Restriction and any associated traffic management can be viewed using this URL link

Temporary road closure from 24th February 2025 for 3 days. Please see attached letter and map.

Residents can now pay for their licence for the 2025 garden waste season.

A licence costs £49 for collections between March and early December. This provides a cost-effective way for residents to dispose of garden waste.

The licence covers one 240-litre wheelie bin to be emptied fortnightly. Anyone who wishes to have more than one bin emptied will need to pay for a licence for each additional bin. Residents can also pay for a licence at any time throughout the season but are encouraged to do so before the start of the service in March as the cost will remain the same.

Once paid, a licence pack should arrive within 14 days.

For more information about the garden waste service, including terms and conditions, and collection dates, please visit www.northyorks.gov.uk/garden-waste.
