Harrogate's deep clean is underway
A Yorkshire-based company began to clean Harrogate's streets last night. The clean is said to be the "number one priority" for businesses as they hope to encourage shoppers to return to the high street next Monday.
Harrogate BID launched a deep clean of the town centre earlier this week.
A deep clean of Harrogate town centre began last night as retailers prepare to re-open next Monday.
The four-year contract for the clean was given to a team from the Yorkshire-based company UK Nationwide Cleaning services. The team began on Market Street and Cross James Street.
The clean is expected to take three weeks with a team working through the night, five days a week. The pavements and street furniture will be power washed throughout Harrogate's retail space.

Once the town centre clean is complete, it will then continue into the wider BID area.
Harrogate BID Interim Manager Simon Kent said:
“The deep clean of Harrogate town centre has been a long time coming, and I’m delighted that it has now got under way. In a recent survey by Harrogate BID, the majority of businesses who responded said they saw this as the number one priority. UK Nationwide Cleaning Services, whom we awarded the contract to, are experts in this line of cleaning, having worked successfully with BIDs across the UK, including a number in Yorkshire.”
