§ Mr. SwinglerThis bypass was originally planned by North Riding County Council, the highway authority, to extend for a length of 1 mile 1,070 yards, at an estimated cost of £216,844. Work was started on 5th April, 1963, at the northeastern end of the bypass and 1,400 yards have been completed. Work on the remainder cannot start until negotiations for the purchase of land have been concluded. It is now estimated that the final cost of the scheme will be £270,177.
