Plan to demolish Harrogate council depot buildings for car parking
A plan to demolish buildings on a Harrogate Borough Council depot to make way for car parking space looks set to be approved.
The borough council plan would see six buildings on the Claro Road depot site flattened in order to create space for bin lorries and other council vehicles to park.
As part of the plan, 10 electric vehicle charging points would also be implemented in an effort to encourage the use of electric and hybrid cars.
A total of 47 car park spaces would be created, along with 36 for council vans and 36 for bin lorries.
