MOTORISTS will breathe a sigh of relief on Monday as Shambles Street is due to reopen after being closed for weeks for water main works.

The road has had a temporary one-way closure from Town End roundabout.

But a spokesman from Yorkshire Water said: "The idea was that it would be done for the end of the school holidays. Everything has gone to plan so it will reopen on Monday."

All works are not finished, however. Work on Peel Street is due to start at the end of next week and will last for three weeks.
