Harrogate Borough Council has confirmed that it spent £800 on the installation of fake grass in the town centre.
The council has also told the Stray Ferret, after an overwhelmingly negative response, that it has no plans for further turf in the town.
That news will likely come as a relief to many residents, some of which feel like the new look undermines Harrogate's reputation as an upmarket, floral town.
We have received more than 300 comments in the past few days. Nearly all criticised the council's new grass.
The Stray Ferret also asked if the council had plans to take the turf down from the raised beds on Cambridge Street and Oxford Street. We have not yet had a reply.
