Good morning, it's Suzannah here with you again this morning. I'll be keeping you up to date, every 15 minutes, on how the roads and rail lines are looking this morning.

I'll be here from 6.30am to 9am, if traffic is moving well or it’s at a standstill then I will let you know.

Let me know what's going on near you via contact@thestrayferret.co.uk. Also, make sure you’re following our ‘Harrogate district traffic and travel’ Facebook group for updates.

Thank you for keeping an eye on the blog, I hope you have a great day.
