Live: Harrogate district traffic and travel
Good morning, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I am back this morning with updates every 15 minutes on the roads and rail links near you.
The live blogs, brought to you by The HACS Groups, aim to keep the Harrogate district moving.
A number of temporary traffic lights are in place across the district today, due to roadworks, so be aware of slight delays.
The Harrogate district spring 2021 Back to Bus launched yesterday with most services returning to their pre-lockdown schedules.
Make sure to keep in touch via social media or email us on contact@thestrayferret.co.uk.
Have a lovely day.
