Good morning, I’m here with another morning of traffic updates for you every 15 minutes.
It’s Suzannah again today and I’m here to keep the Harrogate district moving. Please give me a call with any updates, if it is safe to do so, on 01423 276197 or get in touch on social media.
These blogs, brought to you by The HACS Group, are keeping you updated as the district’s roads get busier.
Have a lovely day.

That’s it from me today, I’ll be back from 6.30am tomorrow morning.
