A patient refused to move his van from the entrance of Ripon dental practice this morning.

The Stray Ferret contacted Bridge House Dental Practice on Bondgate Green and was told by an employee, who wished to remain anonymous, the man "sat in his van and refused to leave".

They said the man, who arrived at around 10am, became "disgruntled" but "not aggressive", adding:

"He was telling people how rubbish and how bad our service is when they walked in."


North Yorkshire Police told the Stray Ferret the force was called to "reports of a confrontation" at around 11am. It added:

“Police officers attended and spoke to a man, who agreed to leave the area.”


The employee said the man left the scene two hours later at midday.
