Good morning and happy Friday. I'm here for the final time this week giving you regular updates on any road or public transport delays.

Today is the first day of the Harrogate Christmas fayre, with stalls throughout the town centre, so be aware there could be a little more traffic than normal.

If there’s anything I’ve missed, and it is safe to do so, give me a call on 01423 276197.

These blogs are brought to you by The HACS Group.
