THE £1.4million roundabout on the A1079 at Pocklington has opened to traffic. Plans for the roundabout have been in the pipeline for more than 20 years but the scheme was finally given the go-ahead in June last year.

The opening comes at the same time as a smaller adjacent roundabout which bypasses the old Hodsow Lane junction.

It is understood Pocklington Town Council will now look into the building of second link road from the smaller roundabout to the town’s industrial estate.
