An extremely controversial service area, Kirby Hill was proposed in 1997 and 2003, and in both cases it was defeated by RAMS (Residents Against Motorway Services).
Recent changes to government legislation means that Heather Ive, the developer, believe that a smaller motorway service area could and should be built despite the new one 13 miles south at Wetherby. RAMS are vowing to fight this proposal, claiming that the service area will still be twice as big as the nearby village of Kirby Hill.
This section of road is part of a larger problem with the A1 having so few services between Doncaster and Darlington, and with the road set to become a continuous motorway soon (meaning that the trunk road services along the route will have to either be upgraded or demolished) the issue is bigger than ever.
This bit of the road has the old road, now the A168, running directly alongside it and it is not known how the service area will get around this.
