Campaign launched to support Harrogate shops online
Harrogate BID has launched a campaign to support local shops as they move online in the run-up to Christmas.
The BID will ask shoppers and business owners to use #ShopHarrogateOnline to spread the word on social media.
It will encourage shoppers to avoid the likes of Amazon, which saw a big increase in sales during the first lockdown.

The BID also has coronavirus reopening grants, which are match-funded up to £750, to support its levy payers.
Levy payers can use the money to either shift their business online or improve their existing online space.
Sara Ferguson, acting chair for Harrogate BID, said:
She added that local accountants, lawyers, estate agents and other professionals also need support.
