    Mark Redding, head of business of Lloyd Land Rover Ripon, said:

    Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID Manager, said:

    “We are proud to be recognised as a finalist for the Britain in Bloom UK finals, especially as we are the only town in Yorkshire that made it through to this stage in the competition.”


    The installations will be designed to celebrate multi-national cooperation, in particular the twinning of Harrogate with other towns such as Luchon in France, Montecatini in Italy, Barrie in Canada and Wellington in New Zealand.
