Local bus company sell face masks to travellers
The Harrogate Bus Company is selling colourful face masks in order to raise money for NHS Charities Together.
The bus operator is making it easier for people to get their hands on a face covering. Masks are being sold in the shop at Harrogate Bus Station for £2.50 with all proceedings going to NHS Charities Together.
As of today face coverings are compulsory when entering hospitals and travelling on public transport. It's part of the next stage in easing lockdown restrictions set out by the government.

The Harrogate Bus Company's CEO, Alex Hornby said:
The Harrogate Bus Company is also giving away free face coverings to key workers who have been riding buses to get to work during lockdown - to claim, email: keyworker@transdevbus.co.uk with either your bus pass number, or the email address registered to your mobile ticket account.
Meanwhile, North Yorkshire County Council is reminding people to dispose of their face masks, gloves, wipes and tissues correctly. These items cannot be recycled and should be disposed of in general waste.
