Business Breakfast: road train on Knaresborough Chamber meeting agenda
The Stray Ferret Business Awards, sponsored by Prosperis, will be held on March 9 at the Pavilions of Harrogate. Early bird tickets are available until February 9. The event will celebrate success and business excellence across the Harrogate district. It’s a night not to be missed! There’ll be a fabulous prize draw for all attending and Richard Flinton, the incoming Chief Executive of North Yorkshire Council, is guest speaker.
Members of Knaresborough's Chamber of Commerce will discuss plans for a road train in the town at tonight's monthly meeting.
On the agenda this evening is a discussion about vacant shops in the town, the changes to local government with the incoming unitary authority and the land train.
The train is likely to run from Conyngham Hall car park to York Place car park, which would also ease pressure on town centre parking.
In recent weeks the Knaresborough Chamber of Trade and Commerce and Knaresborough Town Council have agreed to work together to build a business case for a road train.
The meeting at the Mitre starts at 7pm.

Review website award
Dacre, Son & Hartley estate agent has won Feefo’s prestigious Platinum Trusted Service Award for the second year running.
The award recognises exceptional customer service ratings and reviews posted on the Feefo review website. Feefo is the world's largest provider of verified reviews.
Dacres, which has 20 offices across West and North Yorkshire including Harrogate, Wetherby, Knaresborough, and Pateley Bridge, secured Feefo’s highest platinum award for the first time last year, which followed the company winning gold awards for the three previous consecutive years.
Last year clients reviewed Dacres more than 250 times on Feefo, with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5, which was up from 4.8 in 2021.
Patrick McCutcheon, head of residential at Dacres said:
“Receiving this award, which crucially is based on genuine client reviews, and pushing our average rating up to 4.9 is a major achievement and speaks volumes about our exceptional standards of customer service and care.
“It also demonstrates the ability of our whole team to always respond to current market conditions and combine unrivalled marketing advice with a completely personal service, in order to deliver the best possible results for buyers and sellers alike.
his is one of the key reasons why we’ve been so successful in Yorkshire’s property market for more than 200 years and continually work with generations of the same families time and time again.”
