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.

The Stray Ferret has approached North Yorkshire Police for a comment but has not received a response by the time of publication.
