    More than half a dozen emergency services vehicles are dealing with an incident on a street in Harrogate.

    Several ambulances, two fire engine and police cars have arrived on Franklin Road, close to the town centre, since about 4.30pm.

    An eyewitness, who lives in the area, said the road had been cordoned off.

    The red lines indicate where the incident is taking place.

    They added it wasn’t clear what was happening but it didn’t appear that any residents have been evacuated.

    The eyewitness said shortly before 6pm there was still no news on what was taking place but some ambulances were leaving.

    At about 6.10pm we were informed the road had reopened and the incident appeared to be winding down. 

    There has still been no news from the emergency services about the nature of the incident.
