Residents have been raising concerns about a water mains leak and large potholes at the junction of Keighley road & Carleton road.

Residents have contacted Yorkshire Water after potholes "nearly half foot deep" have been causing drivers issues in the early hours of Wednesday 19th November.

Skipton Community Noticeboard contributor James Lee Ekland phoned 101, quoting lots of ice and a leaking water main, as well as a crack in the road on the junction. He was informed they will "look at contacting highways or others that need to know".

Updating later, Ekland shared online that he was told a repair had been booked in 5 days.

The reference number for the leak with Yorkshire Water is x150288.

Multiple videos and photos have been shared online showing large amounts of water flowing on this busy junction, with many local residents raising safety concerns.
