eXCLUSIVE: When one section buckled down to create what locals call a 'tank trap,' the road was blocked entirely for emergency repairs. It is hoped that a £630,000 resurfacing scheme would finally get to work next year to permanently fix the roads around Ripon's Market Place East and Market Place West. Councillors in North Yorkshire have been asking for years for the faulty paving blocks to be removed and replaced with a tarmac surface. So far, the council has gotten by patching up the road, including the addition of replacement paving blocks and tarmac. However, investigations have revealed that the road's foundations were made of little more than sand.
