4km of jubilee bunting goes up around Harrogate
The streets of Harrogate have been adorned with 4km of jubilee bunting to celebrate the Queen's 70 years on the throne.
The bunting has been bought by Harrogate Business Improvement District, with help from Harrogate Borough Council's Welcome Back Fund.
Leftover bunting will be given to businesses within the levy area free of charge.
Streets the BID has dressed in a mixture of red, white and blue, various colours and ‘jubilee purple’ are:
- Market Place
- Cambridge Street
- Oxford Street
- Cambridge Road
- Commercial Street
- Beulah Street
- James Street
- Princess Street
Businesses within Harrogate’s town centre pay the BID 1.5% of their rateable value a year on top of their usual business rates. Harrogate BID, which drives footfall to the town centre, brings in around £500,000 from local firms.
