Harrogate town centre cleaned ready for return of retail
Harrogate Business Improvement District has called in cleaners to weed and wash footpaths on East Parade, Tower Street and Bower Road, including the pedestrian tunnel, before moving on to other areas.
Harrogate Business Improvement District has called in its cleaning crew to sort out the town's "grot spots" ready for the return of retail next month.
Teams have started weeding and washing footpaths on East Parade, Tower Street and Bower Road, including the pedestrian tunnel.
When they have finished there they will move onto other areas the Harrogate BID has identified as being in need of a clean.
Last year the BID awarded Yorkshire-based company UK Nationwide Cleaning Services a four-year cleaning contract.

Between April and December, the company power-washed about 40,000 square metres in the town centre.
Sara Ferguson, chair of the Harrogate BID, said:
“One of our remits is to build on the day-to-day work undertaken by Harrogate Borough Council’s street cleansing department, and to ensure Harrogate town centre continues to look at its best all year round.
“With Easter a month away, and ‘non-essential’ shops to reopen on April 12, we want the town to look clean, welcoming and inviting for the long-awaited return of customers, hence this early spring clean."
