Free Harrogate buses every Sunday in January and February
Shoppers will be able to take advantage of free buses every Sunday in January and February to give businesses in Harrogate town centre a much-needed boost.
Free buses will be available on the electric services only - on the 2, 3 and 6.
The Harrogate Business Improvement District (BID) has once again sponsored scheme, called the Sunday Freeway, after partnering with the Harrogate Bus Company in 2020 and 2019.
Tomorrow also marks the final day of Harrogate BID's free parking initiative on Mondays to Thursdays after 3pm at the Victoria multi-storey car park.
With coronavirus cases on the rise and further restrictions on the agenda, this free service is expected to entice more visitors into Harrogate.
