People in Harrogate appear to be flouting the social distancing rules by meeting up in banks several times a week.
Harrogate Police has urged people only to visit banks when it is “absolutely necessary to do so.”
The force believes that a “large number of people” are regularly visiting banks for the social aspect.
It has come to our attention that a large number of people are visiting Banks for the social aspect and do so several times a week. Can we please ask that if you do need to visit your local Bank then you only go when it is absolutely necessary to do so.
