The following comments were left under an opinion article by local resident, Barry Adams, on the Harrogate Station Gateway scheme.

A strongly coherent objective piece which deserves a response from our council. Their head in the sand attitude, hoping to avoid answers to difficult questions won't wash. Taxpayers' deserve clarity.

Paul Reynolds

Excellent article with some sensible solutions. The PM is supposed to be keen on local democracy-when will our council listen to its taxpayers?

Katherin MacCuish

Regardless of any other considerations, the idea of a canopy is a very good one and should be thoroughly investigated, Barry.

Colin Harrison

What a sensible opinion and letter from Barry Adams.

David Tillotson

Readers also had their say on an article about roadworks orders for the gateway scheme being issued.

More and more not wanted disruption adding to more disruption.

Michael Chapman

How does a council owned company dare use the word efficient?
