Harrogate independents band together to beat coronavirus
A Harrogate street full with independent retailers has banded together to beat coronavirus.
Commercial Street has a new retailers group designed at promoting all of the shops online.
Shops pay £52 a year to join and all of that money goes into a pot to pay for the website and any future campaigns.
More than 70% of the street is already signed up. They all hope that it can help them get a bumper Christmas after a difficult year.

Sue Kramer, of Crown Jewellers and head of the Commercial Street Retailers Group, said:
She hopes that the new group can encourage customers to keep coming back and exploring Commercial Street.
Despite the difficult year Sue believes that independent shops like the ones on Commercial Street will be the heart of town centres in years to come.
