Live: Harrogate district traffic and travel
Good morning, the roads are starting to get busier in their usual spots including a 11 minute delay on Wetherby Road. There are also multiple bus cancellations on the 1B, 1C and 1D services.
Good morning everyone. I'm back again with your morning updates on the roads and public transport links.
It's Suzannah here, so if you experience any delays or spot something I've missed give me a call on 01423 276197.
