Harrogate bars and cafes bid for pavement licences
Several Harrogate bars and cafes have applied to serve customers on pavements outside their venues when they re-open on April 12.
Gron Kafe, Hidden Bar Harrogate and Cold Bath Brewing Co have all applied to Harrogate Borough Council for pavement licences.
It is likely that many other businesses across the Harrogate district will apply before the outdoor reopening of hospitality venues next month.
Pavement licences will help venues compensate for some of the capacity they have lost by spacing out tables and chairs for social distancing.

Harrogate Borough Council said the move will help encourage people back into town centres to support local businesses.
Jim Mossman, co-owner of the Cold Bath Brewing Co, told the Stray Ferret:
The government introduced pavement licences last year but has made them easier and cheaper to apply for.
The licence fee is now capped at £100 with a consultation period of five working days.
