"Strong Business Case" Retained for Crucial Skipton Link Road

"Strong Business Case" Retained for Crucial Skipton Link Road

19 May 2026

Transport chiefs insist there is still a rock-solid business case for the long-awaited Skipton link road project.

Despite heavy pressure on the wider highways budget and subsequent funding cutbacks, infrastructure planners have confirmed that the business blueprint for the Skipton Link Road remains highly viable. The route is seen as critical for alleviating structural bottlenecks around the town centre, and planners are actively exploring alternative funding models through the regional devolution pot.
