Last updated Feb 23, 2021

Good morning and happy Tuesday, I’m back with another morning of 15 minutes updates on how the roads and transport links near you are looking.

Keep an eye on this blog to keep up to date. It’s Suzannah on the travel desk this morning, so send me any updates via [email protected].

The gritters were out overnight with some road surfaces said to have dropped to zero degrees. Take care this morning.

I’ll be keeping you up to date with roads and rail lines this morning with 15 minute updates. If traffic is moving well or it’s at a standstill then I will let you know.

These morning blogs are designed to keep the Harrogate district moving.
