Good morning, it’s almost the weekend. It’s Suzannah here for the last time this week with your 15 minute road and rail line updates.

These morning blogs are designed to keep the Harrogate district moving. If traffic is moving well or it’s at a standstill then I will let you know.

The gritters were out overnight so take care on the roads.

Send me any updates via contact@thestrayferret.co.uk or leave a comment on our new travel Facebook page, ‘Harrogate district traffic and travel’.

Stay tuned for updates until 9am this morning. Have a great day.

That’s it from me this morning, thanks for getting involved with the blog this week. Please keep me updated with anything going on near you.

My colleague Connor will be on the travel desk next week. He’ll be back bright and early 6.30am on Monday.

A Harrogate travel agent has encouraged people to book holidays for the summer, despite the uncertainty surrounding future coronavirus restrictions.

Holiday travel is currently illegal but operators are allowed to sell flights and packages for summer and beyond.

The UK watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), says you should usually get your money back if coronavirus restrictions force plans to be cancelled.

Ben Poole, owner of The Travel Journal on Montepellier Mews, says people thinking about booking their holidays for the summer should feel reassured.

He said:

“It’s not illegal to have a holiday to look forward to. I have been telling anybody that has been calling up asking about holidays that they have nothing to lose by booking.

“There are really competitive deals available for June and July, for example, and the worst that will happen is you will get a refund if it’s cancelled”.

Boris Johnson is due to set out rules for foreign travel later this month.

The travel sector has criticised government ministers for sending mixed messages surrounding holidays.

Yesterday, transport secretary Grant Shapps said people shouldn’t be booking holidays.

Yet this morning health secretary Matt Hancock declined to answer when asked by the BBC if people should book foreign holidays or not.

Mr Poole believes the government should close the borders, which could mean travel agents would be able to receive a package of financial support.

He added:

“The borders should have been closed in March 2020, with no exceptions. The trade is in full support of that.”
