Ripon Business Improvement District will begin an initiative tonight to light up alleys and ginnels in the city.
The BID, which aims to increase footfall in Ripon to help businesses, will switch on festoon lighting in Lavender Alley, which links Fishergate with Old Market Place and Queen Street,
It will be the first alley and ginnel around the city to be lit up, as part of a BID-funded programme designed to make Ripon a more attractive place to visit.
Ripon BID manager Lilla Bathurst, said:
“Lighting up these key routes throughout the city has been a priority.
“Businesses want all our tourists and the local community to enjoy the most convenient routes as they navigate and explore the city.
“We have been pleased to work with local to Ripon lighting contractor, Fusion FX to deliver this project.’’
