Harrogate Town given go-ahead for new ticket office and turnstiles
Harrogate Town have been given the go-ahead for a new ticket office and turnstiles at the EnviroVent Stadium.
The proposals, which were submitted last December, will see the current ticket office demolished and replaced with a new two-storey facility.
New turnstiles would also be in place at the north and wes of Wetherby Road.
Now, Harrogate Borough Council has given the club permission for the development to go-ahead.

It comes as Town have had a successful past year on the pitch with a historic promotion to the English Football League.
As a result, the club have had to put measures in place to abide by the EFL admission criteria. They include a new pitch and increased capacity at the ground.
In documents submitted to the council, the club said the new planning application was necessary because of an increase in office staff and the need for a better flow of supporters on match days.
The club has also submitted plans for a new two-storey club house and corporate suite.
Meanwhile, Town are set for another Wembley appearance on Monday in the FA Trophy Final against Concord Rangers.
The club have announced a new all-black kit which the players will wear for the game. It will also be used as a third kit for the 2021/22 League Two season.
The Stray Ferret social media accounts will not be posting any updates this weekend about the FA Trophy Final in solidarity with football clubs withdrawing from platforms in protest against online racial abuse.
