Business Breakfast: district's pubs decide whether to open for The Queen's funeral
The district's hospitality businesses are deciding whether or not to open on the day of Her Majesty The Queen's funeral and a Harrogate beauty salon wins a regional award.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
The district's hospitality businesses are deciding whether or not to open on Monday 19 - the day of Her Majesty The Queen's funeral.
Alyson Griffiths the manager of the Prince of Wales in Starbeck told the Stray Ferret that the pub would stay open. The decision was taken by its operators the Craft Union Pub Company yesterday. Ms Griffiths said the idea was to be somewhere for people who lived alone to congregate and watch the service.
The Queen's Head in Kettlesing said it would close during day but open again at 6pm.
Bettys of Harrogate has said its cafe tearooms will be shut on Monday 19.
The government has designated the day of the funeral as a Bank Holiday but left organisations to decide for themselves if they'll stay open and give employees a day off . It has said
"The government cannot interfere in existing contractual arrangements between employers and workers. However, we would expect that many workers will be able to take the day off on the bank holiday.
"We also expect employers to respond sensitively to requests from workers who wish to take the day of the funeral off work."
